What Is an Open Coil Heater?

An open coil heater is an electric heating element that generates heat through exposed resistance wire supported by ceramic insulators or metal frames. Because the heating wire is directly exposed to airflow, open coil heaters provide rapid heat transfer, high thermal efficiency, and low thermal mass. They are widely used in HVAC equipment, industrial ovens, air handling units, drying systems, air curtains, and process air heating applications.

  • Terminals & Leads: Configured for your specific assembly environment.

  • Protective Guards: Added safety features for complex installations.

We manufacture open coil heaters according to your drawings, samples, or technical specifications.

Open Coil Heater Construction

A typical open coil heater consists of:

  • Resistance heating wire: High-efficiency NiCr or FeCrAl alloys.

  • Ceramic insulators: High-dielectric strength support components.

  • Support frame: Corrosion-resistant structural metalwork.

  • Electrical terminals: Secure points for power distribution.

  • Mounting brackets: Engineered for stable installation.

The exposed heating wire allows direct heat transfer to moving air, making open coil heaters highly efficient for forced-air heating systems.
