The TLIID™ option is an insulated cover with gas inlet and outlet ports.
What is a TLID™? It is an insulated lid-chamber with about 1.5” of uniform chamber space from the horizontal plate to the TLID- roof. Lid-chambers have a thermocouple integrated with them. For large loads, lid chambers provides a canopy that enhances the temperature uniformity. The TLID-chamber comes with an integrated guided mechanism for quick insertion. There is no standard Lid for the Glow Panel (GP models) however MHI can offer custom swivel closing hinged devices (like a door) for the GP models.
Thermoplate™, Thermotable™, and Glow-Panels™
Now with the unique TLID-chamber utility function available with most models.
Compare with other commercial Hot Plates. MHI offers a one-year warranty on heating elements/heaters on select Thermoplate™ – Hot Plate Models.
Thermoplates™ offers High Life, High Warranty, High Power, High Temperature, High Heat-up Rate, and large Hot-plate size availability. MHI hot plate and glow panel models are specially constructed with thermal shock-resistant materials. The optional guided TLID-chamber (t/c included in select TLID models) is offered with most models. The temperature and power control panel provided with the Thermoplates may be used to set a precise temperature or a profile – read and control functions are included for versatile process programming. The MHI-DACS system for data acquisition may be used to plot, save or download the data – all with remote monitoring capabilities. Thermoplates are used like hot plates – only in a horizontal condition.

MHI Thermoplates™ are an industrial grade, high power, high temperature hot plate capable of reaching temperatures of 1400°C within 4 seconds after initially reaching full power. Ideal for use as a laboratory hot plate. Thermoplates™ feature a stainless steel construction and electronic controls. Thermoplates™ are offered with quartz or ceramic tops, both exhibiting excellent uniformity.

Comparing typical Gas Burners to Electric GlowPanels™
Please compare the Power and Temperature
Power Rating Conversion
2 kW = 6,829 BTU/hr
90,000 BTU/hour = 26.4 kiloWatts (kW)
The radiation intensity increases with temperature
A faster heat-up and drying results from a higher temperature and higher power

Glow panels offer non-turbulent heating. Compare the Power Density of Lasers, Sunlight, Gas Flames, and More. |
This class of GAXP™ Heater is classified as a semi-finished module, which needs to be installed only by certified electricians who are cognizant of the dangers from exposed electrical and thermal systems. Please do not hesitate to have your electrician contact MHI for questions.
