Ceramic heating elements brukes ofte til indirekte oppvarming av væske i blant annet varmtvannsberedere, el-kjeler, oljeforvarmere og industribad, men kan også brukes til direkte oppvarming av luft.

For these applications, the ceramic element is mounted in a tube.

Ceramic heating elements are preferred when the exchange of elements without emptying the tube or container is required. The elements are also used in applications with demands for reduced lime or coke formation, and when increased wall thickness of the tube due to heavy pressure stresses is required.
