The RFA-CA range of flameproof removable cartridge heaters offers a hazardous area heating solution for oil and similar applications where low heat density is required. The element can be withdrawn for inspection without system drain down. The standard heater consists of a single or multiple cartridge elements fitted into a mounting flange. A robust flameproof terminal enclosure protects the electrical connections. The watts density of the element cartridge fitted depends upon the medium to be heated and the kilowatt rating required.
