Enclosure Heater (TSREH)
BriskHeat TSREH silicone rubber enclosure heaters are specifically engineered to prevent harmful condensation, moisture buildup, and freezing of sensitive electronics housed inside control panels, electrical enclosures, and terminal boxes. Available in a wide variety of power and sizing configurations, these heaters can be ordered either with a built-in ambient-sensing thermostat for automated freeze protection or without a thermostat for integration into existing control loops.
Note: A temperature controller is required for proper operation on all models configuration-built without an integrated thermostat.
- Streamlined Installation: Features a high-efficiency silicone rubber heating element vulcanized directly to a rugged aluminum plate, providing uniform heat transfer and pre-drilled holes for rapid mounting.
- Automated Freeze Protection: Most standard models feature a built-in, ambient-sensing thermostat that automatically activates the heater when temperatures drop, protecting critical electrical components.
- Harsh Environment Durability: Engineered to be highly moisture-, chemical-, and radiation-resistant, ensuring a long operational lifespan inside demanding industrial control environments.
-
Critical Component Safeguard: Actively eliminates internal moisture tracking and stabilizes operating temperatures to prevent costly component degradation, false trips, and electronic failure.

Catalog/Specifications Sheet
Instruction Manuals
Q: What are silicone rubber heating blankets used for?
A: Silicone rubber heating blankets are commonly used to:
- Prevent freezing of equipment and materials
- Maintain process temperatures
- Reduce the viscosity of oils, resins, adhesives, and other fluids
- Heat tanks, vessels, drums, pipes, and composite materials
- Support laboratory testing and research applications
Q: How do I select the right silicone rubber heating blanket?
A: Key factors include:
- Surface dimensions
- Material being heated
- Desired temperature
- Ambient conditions
- Available voltage
- Required wattage
- Control requirements
Q: Can silicone rubber heating blankets be customized?
A: Yes. Custom silicone rubber heating blankets can be manufactured in various sizes, shapes, voltages, wattages, and temperature ranges.
Q: Can silicone rubber heating blankets be used outdoors?
A: Silicone rubber heating blankets are moisture and chemical resistant, but you should always check the rating in the specifications of the product before using outdoors.
Q: Are silicone rubber heating blankets flexible?
A: Yes. Silicone rubber heating blankets are highly flexible and can conform to flat, curved, and irregular surfaces. This flexibility helps provide efficient heat transfer and even temperature distribution.
Q: How are silicone rubber heating blankets installed?
A: Installation methods vary by model and may include:
- Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing
- Spring systems
- Hook-and-loop fasteners
Q: Are silicone rubber heating blankets energy efficient?
A: Yes. Because they transfer heat directly to the target surface, silicone rubber heating blankets can be an energy-efficient heating solution compared to heating an entire room or enclosure.
Q: Can silicone rubber heating blankets be used for composite curing?
A: Yes. Silicone rubber heating blankets are widely used in composite repair and curing applications, providing controlled and uniform heat for aerospace, marine, automotive, and industrial composite processes.
Q: Is a control needed for this product?
A: Yes, you will need the use of a temperature control for this product unless the product states that it comes with a control.
Q: What’s the largest size blanket you can manufacture?
A: We currently manufacture blankets of any length with a maximum width of 4 feet (1.2 m).
Q: Can you change the setpoint on a high limit thermostat on SRX heaters?
A: No, the setpoints are designed to keep the blanket rated for hazardous area approvals. Any changes will void the approvals.
Q: How do I hold the heater in place until I can get the PSA cured?
A: We suggest using a high-heat adhesive tape to secure the heater to its vessel until the PSA has had time to properly cure. A good general guideline for curing is 200°F (93°C) for 20 minutes.
Q: Can I leave the tape on after the PSA is cured?
A: You may if it is rated for the temperatures you are wanting to achieve in your process.
