Accessories of MoSi2 heating elements (Aluminium Braids, Connecting Clamps)

VINER Industrial highest quality heating element accessories available to keep your furnace operating at peak efficiency, which include Aluminum Braids (Al flexible flat braided wire) and Connecting Clamps, etc. 

VINER Industrial MoSi2 heating element accessories are used for all furnaces and many other modern high temperature furnaces, from small laboratory to production size furnaces.

1) Vertically Hanging

Under normal temperature, MoSi2 element is very brittleness, while under high temperature it is plasticity. So, the better way for installation if the U Shape element is to hang it vertically, to the furnace top through the support clamping chuck H. The aim of such way is to avoid putting the mechanical stress directly to the element heat-generating end, or the element will easily be broken.

2) Support Clamp

Support clamp are applied to &9/18 and &6/12 two kinds of elements respectively. The support clamp supports the whole weight of the element and the position of the element is also determined by it .therefore ,it must be installed carefully to assure that the element it vertically hung. In order to prevent the element from being over heated locally, the taper part of the element lower end must put into the furnace chamber.

3) Aluminum Braids (Al flexible flat braided wire, wire clip)

The wire connection clamp connecting MoSi2 element is made of aluminum woven wire or multilayer Aluminum foil. The steel plate outside it only acts as a clamp and isn't used for electric conduction. For 6/12 element, single rowing wire is used for 9/18element, double-rowing wire is used for the end of the lead wire should be a little larger than the linear distance between the element and bus.

The brittleness of MoSi2 heating element is relative more under the usual temperature; it also has plasticity under the high temperature. So you had better hang and erect vertically the "U"-shape element. If you need to erect it horizontally, please choose a support of high-temperature insulating materials. The cone-part of the element must extend inside the furnace. At first the fixture of MoSi2 power connector can’t be screwed too tightly. When temperature of the element is going up, please twist it tightly again, so the element is not easily broken.

(Our suggestion: please choose the specialize power connector provided by our company)

The furnace top must be a good function of heat-preservation. In general, the temperature of furnace top can’t be over 300C. The voltage should be low 0.1 between the power connector and the element. In order to avoid radiating heat to pass the connector, the distance is not less than 50mm between the low end of connector and the upside of the ceramic brick. The Dia.6 /12 element can't be used of 170A for a long time. The Dia.9 element can't be used of 300A for a long time.
