USA Made Cartridge Heater is an electric heating element, and its design is dependent on the application. If the intended application is for a heat source to prevent the melting of a plastic or metal component, then a high-density heating element may be appropriate. However, it is important to choose a heater manufacturer who understands that high-density cartridge heaters are more effective than low-density models. In many cases, the heat that is required is far greater than the amount of power required for a given process.
The material used to make a cartridge heater can also impact its lifespan
In a typical application, the heating coil is a ceramic core and is connected to a heating coil through a metal alloy. The alloy used is a nickel-chromium alloy, or nichrome, and the wire is wound around a ceramic core. The number of spirals per inch depends on the watt density. The coiled nichrome wire is heated by an alternating current source. This source can be either 2 phase or three-phase, and it flows through the nichrome wire.
The material used to make a cartridge heater can also impact its lifespan. In many cases, it has been found that the presence of moisture, hydraulic fluids, and metal parts reduce the life of a heater. In these instances, the most effective solution is to use a heating element with a close-fitting diameter to the metal component. The life of a cartridge is determined by its operating temperature and fit size. The cable length is typically 300mm, but it can be modified to meet the needs of the customer. The wattage of a heat source is directly related to the size of the housing.
