Engineered for High-Performance
When choosing components for your application, performance is critical and details matter. Eichenauer's manufacturing expertise ensures dependable heater performance when your equipment needs it most.
The foundation of every immersion heater is the tubular element. A typical tubular element includes: a tubular sheath, Magnesium Oxide insulation, and a coiled resistor connected to threaded ends.
Looking at a section view of the element, we can see the Nichrome wire, the magnesium oxide insulation, and the stainless steel or Incoloy sheath.
During the manufacturing process, the coiled nichrome wire is centered in the tubular sheath and powdered magnesium oxide is fed into the tube with a vibratory feeder. The tube is then rolled to its final diameter which compacts the magnesium oxide to ensure proper heat transfer to the outer tube.
From finished straight stock, the tubes can now be bent prior to inserting them into a flange. The tube bending process loosens the magnesium oxide at the bend and should be re-compacted to maximize heater performance. Once the tube is bent and re-compacted, the tube ends can now be inserted into the flange. Our brazing process seals the tube-to-flange interface and provides a durable, long lasting joint. For some applications with multiple tubes, additional support can be added to increase strength and minimize tube movement and contact. Our immersion heaters are available in a variety of standard square and round sizes. Threaded plug styles are also available.
For custom designs or standard immersion heaters you can trust Eichenauer's team to work with you to develop solutions for your applications. Our products are made in the United States and we can develop stocking programs to meet your delivery requirements. Contact us today at eichenauerusa.com.
