MgO compaction is an innovative construction technology by which unique performance in the field of electric heaters is achieved.
In the HD series heater, the resistive wire is wound on an MgO core and is thus located close to the heater’s outer tube. This technology achieves a very efficient heat exchange, which keeps the wire at a lower temperature than a conventional heater.
This prevents the wire itself from overheating during use, giving the product high performance.
