A finned heater, also known as a finned tubular heater or finned strip heater, is an electric heating element designed with fins or rib-like extensions attached to the heating element's surface. These fins serve to increase the effective surface area of the heater, which enhances heat transfer and makes it more efficient in heating air or gases.

Types of Finned Heaters:
Tubular Finned Heaters: These consist of a tubular heating element with external fins. They are often used in industrial processes and heating applications.
Strip Finned Heaters: Strip heaters with fins are typically rectangular in shape and are used for applications such as duct heating in HVAC systems.

Efficient Heat Transfer: The primary purpose of the fins on a finned heater is to maximize heat transfer. As air or gas passes over the heated fins, the increased surface area allows for faster and more efficient heating of the surrounding medium.

Versatility: Finned heaters are used in various applications where forced air or gas heating is required, such as in heating ovens, process equipment, industrial drying, HVAC systems, and space heating.

Rapid Heating Response: Finned heaters offer a rapid heating response because of their efficient design. They can quickly raise the temperature of the air or gas passing over the fins.
