Ceramic heaters can be manufactured in flat design for use as
a strip heater, radiant heater or without shroud for use as a
furnace element. |
Maintenance
and Trouble Shooting for Prolonged Heater Life:
1.
Regulate Voltage. A 10% variation in voltage results in a 20%
variation in power.
2.
The cylinder must be clean and smooth for efficient heat transfer.
3.
When attaching the lead wires to the terminals, excessive turning
pressure can cause breakage of the terminal resistance wire.
4.
A 1/2" gap should be maintained at the opening when operating.
Retightening is not normally required, however, if the operating
temperature is changed, the flange bolt should be checked.
5.
Oil, plastic, dirt, etc., should not be allowed to accumulate
on the heaters.
6.
Select a heater to match the diameter of the cylinder.
7.
Match the heaters as closely as possible to the actual load requirement. |
