INGCO S-HG-HE-HG2000385-SP6, Heat Gun- Heating Element(S-HG-HE-HG2000385-SP6)

product details:

Function:

Similar to all heat gun heating elements, the enclosed coil element’s primary function is to convert electrical energy into heat. This heat is then transferred to the air flowing through the heat gun, resulting in the hot air output used for various applications.

Design and Materials:

• Resistance Wire: The core of the element is a high-resistance wire, typically made from Nichrome or Kanthal alloys, chosen for their high melting point, resistance to oxidation, and good heat transfer properties.
• Enclosed Housing: The key feature of this design is the resistance wire being encased within a protective housing. This housing can be made from:
  • Ceramic: Offers good heat insulation and even heat distribution. However, ceramic housings can be more fragile and susceptible to damage from impacts or dropping the heat gun.
  • Metal: Provides good durability and can withstand higher temperatures compared to ceramic housings. However, metal housings might slightly reduce heat transfer efficiency compared to ceramic.

Advantages of Enclosed Coil Elements:

• Safety: The enclosed design protects the user from accidental contact with the hot resistance wire, minimizing the risk of burns compared to open coil elements. This is especially important for heat guns used in professional or around-the-house applications.
• Durability: The protective housing shields the heating element from dust, debris, and potential impacts, extending its lifespan compared to exposed open coil elements.
