Tips for Using Heaters

Heaters are crucial equipment for providing heat in various manufacturing processes within the industrial sector. They help ensure that production processes are efficient and enable precise temperature control. Therefore, each type of heater must be used appropriately to achieve optimal performance. Different types of heaters have varying applications. SCMA provides usage recommendations as follows:

Usage Recommendations for Heaters

Usage Recommendations for Heaters

1. Infrared Heater (INFRARED HEATER)

  • Install no more than 30 centimeters away from the workpiece.
  • Use in conjunction with a reflector to enhance heating efficiency.
  • Avoid using on glossy objects as they absorb heat poorly.

2. Immersion Heater (IMMERSION HEATER)

  • During operation, the water level should not be below the No heat range of the heater as this can lead to poor heat transfer and reduce the lifespan of the heater.
  • When warming liquids, continuously install a liquid level sensor to ensure that the water level does not fall below the No heat range.
  • Avoid allowing scale buildup around the heater as this can lead to poor heat transfer and reduce the lifespan of the heater.

3. Bobbin Heater (BOBBIN HEATER)

  • During operation, the water level should not be below the No heat range of the heater as this can lead to poor heat transfer and reduce the lifespan of the heater.
  • When warming liquids, continuously install a liquid level sensor to ensure that the water level does not fall below the No heat range.
  • For quartz rod models, avoid dropping or impacting them as this may cause breakage.

4️. Finned Heater (COIL FINNED HEATER)

  • Should be used in conjunction with a fan for cooling
  • When stopping operation, the heater should be turned off before the fan to prevent heat accumulation

5️. Cartridge Heater (CARTRIDGE HEATER)

  • When installing a cartridge heater into the mold hole, the size of the hole should be slightly larger than the heater by approximately 0.02-0.04 mm to ensure maximum heat transfer efficiency and extend the life of the heater
  • When installing a heater into the mold, it is recommended to use Silicon Heat Compound during installation to help dissipate heat from the heater while in operation

6️. Band/Nozzle Heater (BAND/NOZZLE HEATER)

  • Should be tightly clamped to the pipe for good heat dissipation
  • During use, regular checks of the heater clamping should be performed

7️. Strip Heater (STRIP HEATER)

  • Should be tightly attached to the workpiece for good heat dissipation
