SCR SiC Heating Elements

CVSIC SCR SiC Heating Rods Description

CVSIC Double-Thread Silicon Carbide (SiC) Heating Elements (SD/SCR/LS Types) are crafted from high-density reaction-sintered silicon carbide, with a hot zone density of up to 2.8g/cm³ and a maximum operating temperature of 1625°C (2957°F). The unique double-spiral groove design delivers a high resistance ratio and surface loading, reducing current consumption and saving on control equipment and wiring costs. The single-end connection simplifies installation, offering energy efficiency, a long lifespan, and excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for zirconia sintering, new energy battery cooling systems, and high-temperature industrial furnaces.

CVSIC SCR SiC Rods Installation Method

To ensure the performance and safety of SCR Silicon Carbide Heating Elements, follow these steps:

1. Inspect Element: Before installation, ensure the element is free of cracks or damage and that the spiral grooves are intact.
2. Installation Type: Supports vertical or horizontal installation. For horizontal installation, the hot zone requires no support, and the grooves should be level. Wiring holes should be 10% larger than the element diameter.
3. Fixing Device: Use ceramic chucks or dedicated clamping devices, avoiding tension to allow independent expansion and contraction.
4. Power Connection: Connect to a 110-480V power supply with flat aluminum braid and spring clips for proper resistance matching.
5. Installation Position: Position the hot zone at the furnace center, avoiding extension into the furnace wall. A 1/2-inch (13mm) conical groove in the furnace wall is recommended to optimize radiation and temperature uniformity.
6. Preheating: Gradually increase power during first use to avoid thermal shock.
7. Regular Maintenance: Check aluminum coating connections and clamps for looseness or corrosion.

Note: Professionals should perform the installation. Contact us for detailed guidance.

Design Recommendations

To optimize the performance of SCR Silicon Carbide Heating Elements, follow these suggestions:

• Hot Zone Length: Match the hot zone length to the furnace width to avoid insertion into the furnace wall, preventing ablation.
• Cold Zone Length: Cold zone length should equal furnace wall thickness plus 50-150mm extension for accessory connection.
• Furnace Aperture: The wiring hole diameter should be 1.1 times the element diameter to allow free expansion and prevent cracking.
• Spacing Design: Maintain ≥3 times the outer diameter between the element and material/furnace wall and ≥4 times the outer diameter for center-to-center spacing to optimize heat distribution.
• Temperature Control System: Use a PID controller for precise temperature control to extend the element’s lifespan.
• Spiral Groove Protection: Avoid mechanical damage to the double-spiral grooves to maintain corrosion resistance.
