How to Assemble a Low Pressure Heater

The assembly process of industrial low-voltage heaters includes multiple steps, from preparing parts to final testing and acceptance. Each link needs to ensure the quality and accuracy of the parts to ensure that the equipment can operate stably under high load. The following is a typical assembly process for industrial low-voltage heaters:

1. Preparation and parts inspection

Before formal assembly, all parts need to be inspected to ensure that they meet the design and quality standards.

1.1. Parts inspection:

Confirm whether the heating elements (such as heating tubes and heating wires) are intact.

Check whether the electrical components (such as thermostats, pressure switches, relays, cables) and mechanical components (such as valves, pipes, and housings) are complete and meet quality standards.

Check whether auxiliary components such as heat exchangers, seals, and safety valves are complete.

1.2. Tool preparation:

Prepare the necessary assembly tools, including wrenches, electric screwdrivers, welding equipment, test instruments, etc.

2. Install the heating element

The heating element is the core component of the low-voltage heater and needs to be installed in the main structure of the heater.

2.1. Selection and installation of heating elements:

Select heating elements of appropriate power and type (such as electric heating tubes, heating wires, PTC elements, etc.).

Install the heating elements into the heater according to the design requirements. Usually, the heating elements need to be fixed on the heating tubes, heating chambers or heat exchangers.

2.2. Electrical connection:

Connect the power cord of the heating element and ensure that the electrical connection meets safety standards.

Check whether the circuit contact is firm to avoid short circuits or poor contact.

3. Install the heat exchanger

The function of the heat exchanger is to transfer the heat generated by the heating element to the working medium (such as water, oil or air).

3.1. Selection and installation of heat exchanger:

Select the appropriate type of heat exchanger (such as plate type, shell and tube type, etc.) according to the application requirements of the heater.

Connect the heat exchanger to the heating element to ensure good contact between the heat exchanger and the heating medium and optimize the thermal efficiency.

Make sure that the connection parts are well sealed to avoid leakage of the hot medium.

4. Install the control system and electrical components

The control system of the low-voltage heater is responsible for regulating the operating parameters of the heater, such as temperature, pressure and flow.

4.1. Install thermostats and sensors:

Install thermostats, temperature sensors, pressure switches and other control devices to the designated location.

Ensure that the sensor is in good contact with the heating medium so that the temperature and pressure can be monitored in real time.

4.2. Electrical system wiring:

Connect the control panel, power cord, heating elements, sensors, relays and other electrical components, and perform grounding.

According to the electrical drawings and system requirements, connect the circuit and check whether the circuit meets the electrical safety specifications.

5. Install protection devices

Low-voltage heaters need to be equipped with a variety of protection devices to ensure that the equipment can automatically shut down or alarm under abnormal conditions.

5.1. Overheat protection device:

Install a temperature protector to ensure that when the heater temperature exceeds the set range, it can automatically cut off the power for protection.

5.2. Pressure protection device:

Install a pressure switch and a safety valve to prevent the heater from being damaged under high pressure.

5.3. Electrical protection:

Configure overload protection and leakage protection devices to prevent electrical equipment from being damaged or dangerous due to failures.

6. Assemble the shell and frame

The role of the shell and frame is to protect the internal components and provide support and insulation.

6.1. Install the shell:

Assemble the shell and frame of the heater in place, ensuring that all joints and interfaces are well sealed.

Install insulation materials as needed to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.

6.2. Sealing and fixing:

Seal the key parts such as shell seams and pipe interfaces to prevent leakage of heating medium.

Ensure that the shell is firmly fixed to avoid loosening during operation.

7. Commissioning and testing

After completing the assembly, comprehensive commissioning and testing must be carried out to ensure that the equipment can operate normally.

7.1. Electrical test:

Check the safety and reliability of all electrical connections to ensure that there are no short circuits, leakage and other problems.

7.2. Functional test:

Start the heater and test whether the thermostat, pressure switch, and flow control system are working properly.

Check whether the heating element can heat normally, whether the heat exchange is efficient, and whether the temperature is stable.

7.3. Safety test:

Perform overload test, overheat test and pressure test on the equipment to ensure that the heater can operate safely under extreme conditions.

8. Final inspection and acceptance

After all assembly and testing are completed, conduct a final inspection to ensure that the heater meets all technical requirements.

8.1. Appearance inspection:

Check whether there is any damage or defects on the outside of the heater to ensure that the appearance meets the requirements.

8.2. Performance acceptance:

Check the performance of the heater under various operating conditions, including heating effect, temperature control accuracy, flow control, etc.

8.3. Safety acceptance:

Ensure that the safety protection device equipped with the heater can work normally under abnormal conditions to prevent overheating, overpressure and other problems.

9. Packaging and delivery

After completing assembly and acceptance, the heater is packaged and prepared for delivery.

9.1. Packaging: Use shockproof packaging materials to protect the heater to avoid damage during transportation.

Attach relevant documents such as manual, warranty card, certificate of conformity, etc.

9.2. Delivery: Send qualified heaters to the location specified by the customer to ensure on-time delivery.

10. Summary:

The assembly process of industrial low-voltage heaters involves multiple links, including parts preparation, heating element installation, control system configuration, protection device installation, housing assembly, debugging and testing. Each link needs to be carried out strictly in accordance with process requirements to ensure the performance and safety of the equipment. Through refined assembly and debugging, it is ensured that the heater can provide efficient and stable heat output in actual applications.
