Introduction

Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) heating element is a high temperature resistant heating element made by molybdenum disilicide. When used in high-temperature oxidizing atmosphere, a layer of bright and dense silica (SiO2) glass film is formed on the surface, which can protect the inner layer of silicon molybdenum from oxidation. Therefore, molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) heating element have unique high-temperature oxidation resistance.

Under the oxidation atmosphere, the maximum operating temperature is 1800 ℃. The resistance of the MoSi2 heating element increases rapidly with the increase of temperature. When the temperature is constant, the resistance value is stable.

Warnings

Operator safety is the top important issue! Please operate the equipment with cautions. Working with inflammable& explosive or toxic gases is very dangerous, operators must take all necessary precautions before starting the equipment. Working with positive pressure inside the reactors or chambers is dangerous, operator must fellow the safety procedures strictly. Extra caution must also be taken when operating with air-reactive materials, especially under vacuum. A leak can draw air into the apparatus and cause a violent reaction to occur.

FAQ

What Is A Thermal Element?

A thermal element is a device that converts electrical energy into heat in order to raise the temperature of an object or space. There are several types of thermal elements, including tubular heating elements, radiative heating elements, and combination heating element systems. Heat transfer occurs through thermal resistance and thermal capacitance, and there are three sources of heat: a power source, a temperature source, and fluid flow. Thermal elements are commonly used in laboratory equipment, as well as in various domestic and industrial applications.

How Does A Thermal Element Work?

A thermal element works by converting electrical energy into heat through the process of Joule heating. When an electric current flows through the element, it encounters resistance, and this results in heating of the element. Metal and ceramic heating elements operate on the principle of electric resistance heating, generating heat by resisting the flow of electricity through the material. The coefficient of electrical resistance of the material determines its ability to generate heat proportional to the amount of current flowing through it. The generated heat radiates outwards into the heat treatment chamber, making thermal elements a highly effective method of generating heat.

What Are The Advantages Of Using Thermal Elements?

Thermal elements offer several advantages in temperature measurement. Firstly, they have a wide temperature range, allowing for accurate measurements across a broad spectrum, from extremely low temperatures to high temperatures. They also have high sensitivity, meaning they can detect even small temperature changes. Additionally, thermal elements have excellent stability and repeatability, providing reliable and consistent temperature readings over time. They are rugged and durable, making them suitable for use in harsh environments. Thermal elements can also be easily integrated into various systems and instruments for temperature monitoring and control.

What Are The Different Types Of Thermal Elements?

There are several types of thermal elements, including thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and thermistors. Thermocouples are made of two dissimilar metals joined together, and they generate a voltage proportional to the temperature difference between their junctions. RTDs are made of pure metals, such as platinum or copper, and their resistance changes with temperature. Thermistors are made of temperature-sensitive semiconducting materials and have a large change in resistance with temperature.

How Should Thermal Elements Be Calibrated And Maintained?

Calibration and maintenance of thermal elements are crucial to ensure their accuracy and reliability. Regular calibration should be performed using certified reference thermometers or temperature standards to verify the accuracy of temperature readings. Calibration intervals may vary depending on the application and industry requirements. Proper storage and handling of the thermal elements are important to prevent damage or contamination. It is recommended to protect the elements from extreme temperatures, moisture, and corrosive substances. Regular inspection of the element's connections, insulation, and protective sheaths should be carried out, and any damage or wear should be addressed promptly. Proper cleaning of the elements, if required, should be done following manufacturer guidelines. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance and consult with experts when necessary.
