Summary:
FEA is an excellent means to evaluate steady state and transient thermal properties of existing or new designs.
To the right is the start-up thermal time response Applied Kinetics analyzed for a new sealer concept design .

Details:
The conclusion, after Thermal FEA analysis, was that the proposed sealer design was feasible. Applied Kinetics determined that the heating element required 300W to maintain the required 185°C for sealing to occur, and that the design contained enough thermal mass to ensure a uniform seal. Applied Kinetics also concluded that only a minimum temperature drop was experienced by the sealer during operation and that the start up time of the device, if using a 300W heater, would be as low as 2 minutes.
