Assembly:
The high watt density cartridge must be fitted in a reamed hole H7 to work properly. For watt density higher than 30W/cm² (200W/Sq. Inch) we advise you a split reamed hole which lock the cartridge in the hole to ensure a better heat transfer.
We advise you to use our thermal grease to ease the assembly and increase heat transfer. Ref PG12, pot of 120g.
The layout of cartridge in a part to be heated must be on a regular pitch. The minimum distance between 2 cartridges is 200mm.
You must use a temperature control device to regulate the temperature of your process. The sensor must be fitted in the middle of the cartridges.
