Finned heaters made in Dubai
Tubular elements with fins for fast air heating
A finned tubular heater is a tubular heating element with metal fins fixed along its length. The fins add surface area, so more heat passes into the air moving over the element. That makes them a common choice for heating air in ducts and air handling equipment.
Anchor Marine Engineering manufactures finned tubular heaters at its Al Jadaf workshop for ducts, HVAC and drying systems where fast air heating is needed.
Each element is built to your dimensions, shape, voltage and wattage, from one replacement to bulk supply, and tested before delivery.
Finned tubular heaters, also called finned heater elements or finned tube heaters, are widely used as duct heaters. As a duct heater manufacturer in Dubai, we build finned tubular duct heater elements for HVAC ducts and air systems.

Design
Why the fins matter
Air carries heat away less readily than liquid, so an air heater needs more surface. Fins on the tube give the moving air more area to pick up heat from, for faster heating from the same element.
- Tubular element with metal fins
- Larger heat-transfer surface
- Suited to moving air
- Straight or formed to fit the duct

Built to order
What we need to build your finned heater
There is no fixed catalogue size. Each heater is made to the specification of the equipment it is for, or matched to a sample of the old one.
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Voltage & wattage | Sets the heat output into the air |
| Length & shape | Straight or formed to fit the duct or unit |
| Mounting | How the element is fixed and where the terminals sit |
| Airflow | Where it sits in the duct or unit |
| Element material | Matched to your sample or specification |
| Controls | Thermostat or temperature control panel, if required |
How to order

- 05
Test & deliver
Every element is tested before delivery.
What is a finned tubular heater?
It is a tubular heating element with metal fins along its length. The fins increase the surface area so more heat transfers into the air.
Where are finned tubular heaters used?
We manufacture them for ducts, HVAC and drying systems where fast air heating is needed.
Finned tubular or open coil: which do I need?
Finned tubular elements keep the resistance wire sealed in a tube, which suits ducts, HVAC and drying systems. Open coil elements expose the coil for rapid heating and are common in ovens, furnaces and space heating appliances.
Can you make a finned element to match an existing one?
Yes. Send the old element, a drawing or its dimensions, voltage and wattage, and we will manufacture a matching element.
