What are the precautions for using radiation tubes?

2025-12-16

When using a radiation tube, the following points should be noted:
1. The components are allowed to operate under the following conditions:
(1) The relative humidity of the air shall not exceed 95%, and there shall be no explosive or corrosive gases.
(2) The working voltage shall not exceed 1.1 times the rated value, and the casing shall be effectively grounded.
(3) Insulation resistance ≥ 1M Ω, dielectric strength: 2KV/1min.
2. Electric heating tubes should be positioned and fixed, and all effective heating areas must be immersed in liquid or metal solids. Empty burning is strictly prohibited. When scale or carbon is found on the surface of the pipeline, it should be removed in a timely manner to avoid affecting heat dissipation and shortening the service life.
3. When heating molten metals or solid nitrate, alkali, asphalt, paraffin, etc., the operating voltage should be reduced first, and then increased to the rated voltage after the medium melts.
4. When heating air, the components should be arranged evenly in a cross pattern to provide good heat dissipation conditions for the flowing air to be fully heated.
5. When heating nitrate, safety measures to prevent explosion accidents should be considered.
6. The wiring part should be placed outside the insulation layer to avoid contact with corrosive, explosive media and water; The lead wire should be able to withstand the temperature and heating load of the wiring part for a long time, and excessive force should be avoided when tightening the wiring screws.
7. The components should be stored in a dry place. If the insulation resistance is less than 1M, they can be dried in an oven at around 200 ℃ or heated with reduced voltage until the insulation resistance is restored due to long-term storage.
8. The magnesium oxide powder at the outlet of the electric heating tube is used to prevent pollutants and water from seeping into the usage area and to prevent electrical leakage.
