Ako predĺžiť životnosť vykurovacích prvkov z uhlíkových vlákien

Carbon fiber heating elements emit far-infrared rays with strong penetration and excellent heating efficiency, making them widely used in industries such as agriculture, chemical processing, and consumer goods. Their primary applications include drying, heating, insulation, and roasting.

The typical lifespan of a carbon fiber infrared heating element is around 6,000 hours. With proper maintenance, the lifespan can be extended, with many customers reporting usage periods of up to 2 or even 4 years. So, how can daily maintenance help extend the service life of carbon fiber infrared heating elements? Just like our cars, industrial equipment also requires regular and irregular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

1. Handle with Care During Installation

According to market feedback, the most common reason for heating element failure is damage to the quartz tube, which prevents the heating element from functioning properly. The quartz tube encasing the heating element is fragile, so it is crucial to handle it carefully during installation to avoid damage. Excessive force can break the quartz tube, disrupt the vacuum environment, and shorten the heating element’s lifespan.

2. Keep the Environment Clean

Carbon fiber heating elements are suitable for any heating, drying, or insulation applications, but they perform best in a clean environment. If there is significant dust or oil buildup, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove any debris. This prevents dirt from affecting heat transfer and causing localized overheating of the quartz tube, which could impact both the lifespan and heating efficiency.

3. Special Considerations for Specific Environments

If the heating element is used to heat water, chemical solutions, or other liquids, special design considerations are required for the heating and cooling zones. The heating zone must be fully submerged in the liquid, while the cooling zone should be isolated with high-temperature resistant sealing components and equipped with leak protection to ensure safety.

4. Minimize Equipment Vibration

Excessive equipment vibration can damage the heating element, disrupt the vacuum environment, and reduce its service life. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that the equipment operates smoothly and with minimal vibration.
