Design and installation Expansion loops
WIKA uses trained specialists to customise the temperature Expansion loops should be designed to account for measuring points to the application. These specialists maximum tube movement from startup position to operating utilise best practices derived from scientific properties to temperature. Loops should be designed in accordance with optimise the life and accuracy of the thermocouple. They allowable space available. make suggestions to optimise the system for temperature, movement, and burner firing. Examples of expansion loops:
Some design considerations that can help determine S-loop
measuring points for the specific application in order to choose the best suitable product:
■■ Material compatibility with furnace tube
■■ Heat transfer (radiation, convection, conduction) ■■ Junction (grounded, ungrounded) ■■ Thickness of the mineral-insulated cable (flexibility vs. durability) ■■ Expansion loops (location and design) ■■ Flame impingement Single coil ■■ Furnace exit design options ■■ Burner fuel (flue gas composition) ■■ Welding procedure (TIG, stick, temperature monitoring) ■■ Mounting (location, orientation) ■■ Operating vs. design temperatures ■■ Bending radius Multiple coil ■■ Path to furnace wall ■■ Tube clips (location and routing) ■■ Connection head (material, location, approvals) ■■ Furnace design (burner locations)
