How a Flat Bar Heater Works

Flat bar heating elements are designed for direct contact or radiant heating within commercial food warming equipment. When electrical current passes through the resistive material inside the element, it generates heat. The flat, elongated shape of the bar ensures that this heat is distributed evenly across a specific area, such as the base or sides of a holding cabinet. This controlled heat transfer is essential for maintaining consistent temperatures, preventing food from cooling down, and preserving its quality over extended periods.
