Hose Description

ElectraFlo II Series D flexible braided stainless steel hose features a smooth bore Teflon Core which is electrically heated for operation to 450°F (232°C). The heated hoses are flexible and can be operated in continuous movement conditions. Our state of the art proprietary heating element provides optimum temperature uniformity throughout the entire heated length. Multiple layers of Thermal Insulation provide efficient maintenance of temperature and are safe to the touch. The outside hose cover is either a braided abrasive resistant sleeving or a tough flexible reinforced PVC jacket. All hoses are supplied electrically and hydraulically complete, ready to use.

Electrical

Operating Voltage – any phase voltage to 480 VAC. Depending on length, hoses may be ordered to operate on 240 or 480 VAC, three-phase. Power Density is based on the desired operating temperature, lowest ambient temperature and size of hose. Our engineering department determines the power density required for your application.

Temperature

Series D braided stainless steel hose must be controlled (except for the self-limiting “SL” version) to maintain the desired operating temperature. A temperature sensor is installed during construction and, unless otherwise specified, will be installed three feet from the power end of the hose.
