Specialty Flanged Inline (SFI)

Typical Applications:

• Combustion Research and Engine Development test stands:  Jet, auto, and diesel.
• Valve testing for aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities.
• Fuel cell R&D test stands and heat-up operations.
• Pollution control in SCR NOx and other Catalyst applications.
• High temperature furnaces.
• Pyrolysis applications.
• Waste to energy processes.

Key Advantages:

Specialty Flanged Inline (SFI) inline heaters offer superior performance over conventional sheathed (“tubular” or “immersion”) style heaters because they are designed specifically for air and inert gas applications. 

Sylvania’s proprietary SERPENTINE element facilitates a very high power density and compact overall design.  SFI heaters can be as much as 8-12X smaller than equivalent tubular/immersion designs.

With this advantage, installations become smaller, lighter, and more cost effective, with a faster heat-up and cool-down time.  

Whether for a research test stand, factory production line, or key component in a product or system, SYLVANIA’s Specialty Flanged Inline heater is the right tool for the job.
