NANUQ® High Temperature Heater Technology for Process Industries

The NANUQ® ceramic composite electrical insulation system promises to offer improved performance and heater economics when compared to current state-of-the-art commercial heaters. The technology allows for tailoring power density and operating voltage, while providing superior long term electrical performance at temperatures up to 850°C (1560°F). These advantages allow the end user to specify a heater that meets their process requirements rather than designing their processes around the limitations of current heater technologies. Heaters utilizing NANUQ® technology are mechanically tough and resistant to damage during handling, transportation and installation as well as highly resistant to degradation from the environment, particularly moisture.

NANUQ® High Temperature Materials

NANUQ® materials have been developed to deliver the performance required of high temperature industrial heaters. High temperature heaters are subject to severe stresses which can cause degradation of properties over time. CTD has engineered its NANUQ® material systems to minimize leakage current under long term exposure to elevated temperatures, thereby increasing reliability and decreasing energy consumption costs. NANUQ® materials are non-hygroscopic, eliminating the need to provide hermetic sheathing and greatly reducing premature failures. NANUQ® material systems are mechanically tough in the manufactured state providing the benefit of a robust product during shipping and installation. Target applications include energy intensive, high temperature process industries such as recovery of oil from shale and oil sands, petrochemical manufacturing, and heat tracing.
