Test Setup for Thermal Loss of Photo Receiver tube along with Heater Control & Data Acquisition System

1.  Heaters and Power supply unit :a) Ceramic Isolated Heaters                         A Encapsulated Heater with proper Ceramic Isolation and uniform Heating Facility in tube length of 4060 mm . the Heaters should be single phase 230 volt operated and capable of reaching a steady temperature  of 450° C . A  Heating capacity of 5 Kwatt is envisaged for this temperature.  The Heaters are required to be inserted for every Test Cycle in the Photo receiver Tube and should rugged to undertake the above handling.
