FLEXIBLE HEATERS A WINNER AT INDY!
Sometimes heater applications are just a lot of fun as demonstrated during the 2012 IndyCar Championship Season. A Durex silicone rubber flexible heater helped Indy racer Ryan Hunter-Reay in his Andretti Motorsports car win the season championship.
The Durex heater was used to heat the car's gearbox. Thanks to Ken Austin at Garcor who worked with the Andretti team. Additionally, Durex' heaters were on the Andretti Motorsports cars that finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the Indianapolis 500 qualifying trials. Durex is proud to have been a small part of Andretti Motorsports success.
Congratulations to Ryan Hunter-Reay & team Andretti!

In October 2012, Durex Industries announced the release of the new 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) cartridge heater. The 1/8 inch cartridge heater was developed for Analytical Instrumentation OEMs that required a small thermal solution for gas chromatograph, a mass spectrometer, and other applications. Durex' heater can be custom designed for applications requiring 304 stainless or Inconel® sheaths in lengths up to 12 inches, and up to 745 watts at 240 VAC. Common applications include heating stainless steel semiconductor gas delivery and vacuum exhaust lines, gas canisters, precursors, valves and other components.

HIGH-TEMPERATURE DFX BRONZE CIRCULATION HEATERS
The ability to apply engineering expertise to challenging thermal applications is a reason that customers come to Durex. This was the case recently when a bio-fuel company had a requirement for a high-temperature circulation heater. During regeneration cycles, they operate the heaters up to 550°C (1022°F). Durex' standard DFX circulation heater uses aluminum, which is a great thermal conductor but would melt in this application.
Durex' engineers chose to use bronze instead of aluminum because bronze could withstand the high process temperature. Durex also has the capability to cast bronze in our foundry. The application also required a NEMA 7 electrical housing, which, because of the high temperature was mounted on a ventilated stand-off above the heater.
