Ferro

Ferro Techniek‘s thick film heating elements are custom designed to suit your application. Shape, size and electrical properties can be set and optimized for each heating job. In addition we can provide electrical connectors, thermal sensors, temperature limiters and controls. Also we are experienced in assisting in solutions for installation of thick film heaters in appliances.

Flow Through Heater mkII

FTH mkII is an ultra fast high pressure (15bar) water flow through heater based on a thick film heating element. Water runs at high speed along a channel over the heater. This results in hot water in just seconds. FTH mkII delivers water up to boiling temperature and can even create steam! The heater will fastly improve the sustainablity of your application. This is confirmed by this LCA, conducted by TNO.

Features:

  • Heat up temperature to 100°C, in just seconds!
