Creating Thermal Solutions Across a Spectrum of Industries

Birk Manufacturing’s thermal solutions reach across multiple industries and industry subsets. Lots of industries find needs for thermal management and Birk has the engineering talent to solve them all. In addition to Aerospace, Medical, Semiconductor, and Defense industries, Birks’ solutions can be found in the following sectors:

Birk Manufacturing designs and develops thermal systems for several security applications. These thermal systems improve performance, eliminate multiple vendor sources, and decrease installation times.

Birk’s engineers have developed fully customized heating elements that are crucial in chemical detection applications. By elevating the temperature of drift tubes, our technology enables mass spectrometry testing that identifies the type and amount of chemical present in any given sample.

Birk’s thermal systems for chemical detection are used in airports and sporting arenas globally. They eliminate security threats and protect the United States and its allies by securing military and diplomatic locations around the world. They can be retrofitted to existing machines and can be implemented into hand-held devices depending on the application requirements.

Current security applications are:

  • Bench-top units to test for drug and bomb residue
  • Fully active hand-held detection wands
  • Baggage scanning
  • Mass spectrometry drift tube–elevation for testing

Many heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems require thermal solutions. Birk’s silicone rubber flexible heaters are often the best solution thanks to their durability and their ability to be manufactured with unlimited length. This length provides ample coverage to wrap around large commercial-grade HVAC condensers, which prevents them from freezing and causing costly damage to a unit.

Birk also manufactures customized heaters that fit into drip pans to evaporate condensation, eliminating water buildup and averting drainage issues.

Due to the harsh and unpredictable environments in which telecommunications products are generally placed, thermal solutions are necessary. Birk provides superior products that can withstand these harsh environments.

Our thermal solution applications for telecommunications include:

  • Eliminating structural damage on cell towers due to ice and snow.
  • Eliminating condensation and moisture buildup in electronic enclosures
  • Ensuring optimal operating temperatures on battery backup systems during states of emergency or power loss.

Battery Heaters

Birk Manufacturing specializes in battery heaters for telecommunications applications that increase battery efficiency and extend its lifecycle. Our high-performance battery heaters offer the following:

  • Robust design
  • Water resistance
  • Even heat distribution
  • Integrated thermal switches and cut-offs for self-regulation
  • Elimination of delamination through vulcanization to metallic substrate

Birk supplies heaters to leading names in the transportation industry, including segments such as rail and electric vehicles (EVs). Often made from silicone rubber for ruggedness and durability, Birk’s heaters and sensors can manage fluctuating and hostile temperature ranges. Heaters can be vulcanized to your part to resist the harshest weather and are rated to -40°C. Additional custom coatings are also available for greater weather resistance.

Transportation applications for our heater solutions include:

  • Heated thresholds for railroad & transit systems
  • Fuel cell heaters
  • Vehicle and vessel lighting
  • Battery warming for cold environments
  • And much more
