Furnace Assessment: Before installation, assess the furnace configuration to ensure the U/L angle heater fits correctly and allows for optimal heat distribution.
Handling and Positioning: Handle the element with care and position the angles to maximize the heating surface and avoid hot spots.
Power Connections: Make the electrical connections securely, ensuring the terminals are well fastened and protected from high temperatures.
Structural Support: Verify that there is adequate support for the element inside the furnace, especially at the angle points, to avoid mechanical stress.
Heating Test: Perform an initial heating test to verify temperature uniformity and the overall performance of the element in the specific application.
The use of extra-flexible aluminum braids and stainless steel clips is not just an aesthetic recommendation, it is an operational necessity for two main reasons:
Hot Spot Prevention: SiC heaters have ends called "cold zones", but they still reach considerable temperatures. Aluminum has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, which ensures that the interface between the power cable and the heater does not generate contact resistance. A poor connection will raise the temperature at the end, potentially melting the cable or fracturing the heater.
Vibration and Expansion Absorption: SiC is an extremely rigid and brittle ceramic material. Aluminum braids are flexible enough to absorb furnace vibrations and natural thermal expansion movements without exerting mechanical stress on the element, which would cause immediate breakage.
