TOMOEGAWA Achieves Energy Saving with iCas MHE

TOMOEGAWA's iCas MHE flexible surface heater has garnered significant recognition for its energy efficiency. Recently validated through Japan's Ministry of the Environment's Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program, this innovative heating solution has demonstrated energy savings exceeding 20% compared to traditional mantle heaters. Under real-world testing conditions, the technology showed an impressive 42% reduction in energy consumption.

What is the ETV Program?

The ETV initiative is designed to objectively assess and verify the environmental benefits of advanced technological solutions that are already in practical use. By making these findings publicly available on the Ministry's website, the program aids technology users in selecting appropriate solutions, promoting environmental technologies, and fostering the development of the environmental industry. The ETV framework aligns with ISO 14034 standards, ensuring its international applicability.

The Need for Efficient Heating Solutions

In manufacturing and various heating applications, reducing energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions remains a crucial concern. The iCas MHE heater is engineered to closely adhere to heated objects, optimizing heat transfer compared to conventional heating methods. This characteristic is key in contributing to reducing environmental impact and energy consumption across industries.
