About Open Coil and Sinusoidal Strip Heaters
Open coil & sinusoidal strip heating elements are the most efficient and versatile while also the most economically feasible solution for heating, these elements have fast heat-up times because of direct heat transfer to objects by radiation without insulation medium. They have open circuits consisting of coiled resistance strips or wires (usually Ni-Chrome alloys or ferritic alloys FeCrAl) fixed to a supporting insulation body like a ceramic tube, ceramic fiberboard, insulation refectories, etc that heat medium directly.

When an electrical current is passed to the wire, it produces heat. The wire is connected to the control panel that regulates the amount of heat generated by the electric heater and fills the tunnel of the air handling unit. They serve as an indirect solution to minimize watt density requirements and prevent heat-sensitive materials from breaking down. The heater can be formed into a compact, coiled nozzle heater supplying a full 360° of heat with optional distributed wattage.
