• Rapid heat: unit reaches a temperature of 1,700 deg. F in less than 2 minutes.
• Rugged construction includes hermetically sealed connector assembly.
• Extensive testing ensures reliability.

This igniter assembly is used in nuclear containment buildings throughout the world. It's primary function is to burn off excess hydrogen in the nuclear containment domes.

• Combination heater/sensor controls temperature - mounts directly on thruster body.
• Operating temperature range: -65 to 750 deg. F.
• Duty cycle: 50,000 cycles / 36,000 hours.
• Build to withstand harsh environmental elements.

A 30 watt heater is combined with a platinum temperature sensing element for use on the Space Shuttle engine thrusters.

• Mounted to heat exchanger cavity, this device generates temperatures to 4,200 deg. F.
• Orbital life duty cycle is 12 years.
• Over 86 separate pieces of hardware are used to manufacture the complete heater.
• Materials include tungsten, thoriated tungsten, TZM, inconel 600 and ceramics.

Augmentation heater is an integral part of advanced satellite propulsion system. Two heaters are mounted to a thruster heat exchanger cavity where exhaust is super heated to provide extra thrust. This additional thrust substantially extends the life of the satellite.

• Heater conditions airflow under low temperature operating conditions encountered from sea level to 70,000 feet in elevation.
• Thermal sensors are added for safety.
• Thorough testing under a variety of environmental conditions are required.

An airflow heater with built in thermal switch provides rapid heating for airborne optical mechanical pod.

• Tayco has had years of experience designing and manufacturing a variety of thruster heaters to customer specifications.
• Reliability: Heater built to withstand exposure to orbital environmental conditions for a minimum of seven years.

Tayco is a qualified supplier of thruster heaters for major space programs in the United States, Europe, Japan, Israel, and South Africa.

• Cartridge heaters use an innovative free-standing coil heating element to survive extreme temperature cycling and vibration exposure.
• Light weight: The heater shown weighs .024 pound (10.9 g).
