Driptray Evaporator Heating Element – Various Lengths with Nuts & Washers

Product Description

The Driptray Evaporator Heating Element is engineered specifically for the refrigeration sector, ensuring efficient evaporation of water produced during the defrosting cycle. Available in a range of lengths, each element is supplied with nuts, washers, and gasket for easy installation.

Featuring PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) technology, these elements automatically adjust their heating output depending on temperature. They deliver maximum power when cold and gradually reduce power as the temperature rises, making them highly energy-efficient and inherently safe.

Key Features

• Available in various lengths to suit different driptray applications

• PTC effect (Positive Temperature Coefficient):

  • Maximum heating at lower temperatures

  • Reduced output as temperature increases

  • Automatic power regulation without external devices

• Supplied with nuts, washers, and gasket for secure installation

• Easy assembly – requires only a 17mm mounting hole near the base of the tank

• Safe operation – reduces output when uncovered to avoid overheating

• Durable design – built to withstand demanding refrigeration environments

Benefits

• Cost-effective solution: Eliminates the need for additional protective devices, accessories, or complex connections

• Energy-saving: Self-regulating PTC technology lowers consumption as temperature stabilises

• Safe by design: No risk of overheating when uncovered, protecting both heater and driptray

• Quick installation: Simple fitting process with supplied fixing kit

• Reliable performance: Ensures effective evaporation during every defrost cycle

How It Works

Driptray evaporator heating elements respond automatically to temperature changes:

• At low temperatures, the element circuit closes and delivers maximum heating power.

• As the temperature rises, the circuit gradually reduces output to maintain safe and efficient operation.

• Once the water in the driptray has fully evaporated, the heater continues to run uncovered at minimal power, preventing any risk of damage to the heater or tray.
