How to disassemble and install the infrared heating tube

How to disassemble and install the infrared heating tube


Many industrial equipments use infrared heating tubes, which are heated and dried by generating infrared rays. However, if the heating tubes are damaged due to improper use, you can also purchase components of the same specification to replace them. Here, I will introduce the corresponding disassembly and installation method.


First of all, it should be noted that infrared heating tubes have various specifications and sizes. In addition to different powers, the lengths are also different. This is to meet the needs of various equipment. Therefore, when buying a new heating tube, you need to measure the size first, and then determine the power. In addition to choosing the same specifications, if conditions permit, you can try to choose the same brand, so that the success rate of replacement will be higher.


The structure of the infrared heating tube is similar to that of the old-fashioned tungsten halogen lamp. The inside is a heating wire, and the outside is a tube wall made of transparent quartz glass. Including the electrodes is also a similar structure, so its power supply and fixation depend on the electrodes at both ends. When disassembling, you need to use a screwdriver to loosen the fastening structures at both ends, and then carefully remove the damaged heating tube. Put the new heating tube in the same position and re-tighten it as it was. The whole process needs to be carried out after the power is turned off. After the installation is completed, you can turn on the power again and try it. The heating tube will have light when it is working normally, so if it can light up, it means the replacement is complete.


Finally, I would like to emphasize the purchase of infrared heating tubes. Because the production technology of such components is not complicated, there are many domestic manufacturers producing them. However, when purchasing, you must go to a regular store, and you should choose a regular brand, and don't choose Sanwu products because you are greedy for cheap. Although the products produced by manufacturers without formal qualifications can also work normally, they will have potential safety hazards and there is no guarantee in terms of service life.
