Tubular Heating Elements
ELEKHEAT’s tubular heating elements are designed for high-temperature performance, ensuring quick and consistent heat for espresso machines.
Flanged immersion heaters are composed of several key components engineered to meet specific operating conditions, ensuring efficient and reliable heating for industrial applications. Below is a detailed breakdown of their structure and features:
Heating Elements
- The heater consists of multiple electric heating elements, typically in a hairpin shape, either brazed or TIG welded for durability.
- The watt density (W/cm²) is carefully selected to match the application’s operating conditions and liquid medium.
- Materials for the heating tubes include stainless steel (AISI 321, AISI 316L, AISI 309) and high-performance alloys such as Incoloy 800/825 or Inconel 600, chosen based on environmental factors and temperature requirements.
Flange Design
- Flanges are manufactured to conform to various standards, including DIN, ASA, or custom specifications.
- The flange dimensions are calculated based on the required pressure and operating temperature, with sizes ranging from DN80 PN10 (3″ 150 lbs) to DN2500 PN250 (100″ 1500 lbs).
- The sealing system, whether single elastomeric (SEM) or double elastomeric (DEM), is chosen to ensure a reliable and leak-proof connection.
Electrical Connection Box
- Made from protected steel or stainless steel, the connection box houses the electrical terminals.
- Cable entries are sized to accommodate the number and power of the heating elements, with optional integration of a temperature control system for precise regulation.
- For operating temperatures above 110°C, an offset connection box is used to maintain junction box temperatures below 80°C for added safety.
Heating Bundle Dimensions
- The heating bundle consists of a specified immersion length and a diameter determined by the number of heating elements and the welding configuration.
- The total power output and maximum watt density (W/cm²) dictate the number and arrangement of heating elements.
Cartridge Heaters
ELEKHEAT’s cartridge heaters are compact, cylindrical heating elements used in confined spaces. These heaters are often made from a high-resistance material and are widely used in machines that require precise temperature control.

- Ceramic: Great for energy-efficient heating with stable temperature control.
- Copper: Good for applications needing quick heat-up times but may require extra care to prevent corrosion.
4. Compatibility
- Ensure that the heating element is compatible with your coffee machine’s thermostatic controls or external temperature regulators for accurate performance.
5. Durability and Maintenance
- Look for corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, Incoloy, or ceramic for long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance.
1. Preparation
- Power Off: Before starting the installation, ensure that the coffee machine is completely powered off and unplugged to avoid any electrical hazards.
- Required Tools: Have tools such as a wrench, screwdriver, and multimeter ready for installation.
2. Choose a Location for the Heater
- For immersion heaters, ensure the heater is properly submerged in the liquid, while tubular heaters should be installed in a dedicated tank or chamber designed for heating.
- For flexible and band heaters, ensure the heating element is wrapped securely around the boiler or tank, with even contact to ensure efficient heating.
3. Install the Heater
- Immersion Heater: Insert the heater directly into the liquid tank. Secure the heater in place, ensuring that it is fully submerged and stable.
- Tubular Heater: Mount the heater to the designated place in your coffee machine, ensuring all connections are tight and secure.
- Band Heater: Wrap the heater around the cylindrical tank and tighten it using the appropriate fasteners.
- Flexible Heater: Attach the flexible heater to the machine, ensuring it is wrapped snugly around the surface and securely held.
- Cartridge Heater: Insert the heater into the designated port or housing, ensuring it fits snugly and doesn’t interfere with other components.
4. Electrical Connections
- Ensure that the heater is correctly wired to the power source and thermostat, following the manufacturer’s instructions for electrical connections.
- Double-check the voltage and wattage specifications to avoid overheating or damaging the unit.
5. Testing the Heater
- Once the heater is installed, perform a quick test to ensure the unit is heating properly. Turn on the coffee machine and monitor the temperature to ensure proper function.
- Use a multimeter to check for continuity and ensure the heating element is correctly installed and functional.
6. Safety Checks
- Check for any visible signs of leaks, wiring issues, or overheating during the initial test.
- Confirm that all components are securely fastened and that the machine is safe to operate.
7. Regular Maintenance
- Periodically inspect the heating element for any wear and tear, and clean it as necessary to prevent build-up or corrosion.
