MoSi2 Four-Shank Elements
Horizontally mounted elements are the best choice for furnaces with low chamber height.
The four shank elements are superior to the two shank elements in that the hot zones are longer,
requiring fewer elements to heat up the boiler and achieve the required temperature with minimal losses
at the cold ends. As a result, four-shank elements are more cost effective than two-shank elements. It can
be installed on the furnace’s wall or roof and supported from beneath or stapled to high-temperature
fiberboard. When the maximum element temperature does not exceed 1600°C, four shank heating
elements are used.
Four-shank elements with straight terminals are outlined by:
- The quality
- Heating zone diameter, mm
- Terminal diameter, mm
- Terminal length, Lu, mm (in)
- Heating zone length, Le, mm (in)
- Heating zone length, B, mm (in)
- Center distances between shanks, a, mm (in)
