Robust Radiator (RR) and Sleeve Heater Heating Modules are provided in six categories:

Large KW Sleeve Heaters

All Robust-radiator modules are specified with the dimensions in the schematic below. Please read the power in the respective tables below.

Why are they long-lasting? MHI Robust Radiator is enclosed in a special RR Fractalin Ceramic, which displays extraordinarily low expansion or distortion. This is the secret of its longevity.
For A, B, C & D Dimensions, See the Diagram Below. For Multi-Zone Models, RHUL type (1500C+), MRCL (1350C), GRR (1300C), and Stack (please scroll down)

Several Models are priced on the MHI Web Store

(KiloJoule) = 0.9485 BTU=0.0002778 kWhr

The Watt (W) is a unit for power i.e. the energy used (or supplied) per unit time. 1 J/s (Joule per second) = 1 W (Watt)
Power-Units Conversion 1kW (KiloWatt) = 3414 BTU/hr

How much energy and what kind of power will be suitable for your heating application? The estimators in the link above may be used to calculate the energy required for common processes. Then by choosing a time over which the energy will be used one can calculate the best power required from the heater.
