System Design<\/h2>\n \n

TCS Part Specification<\/h2>\n

TCS can be provided either as Engineered Kits, designed specifically to defined Barrel Diameters, Zone Lengths, and Supply Voltage, or as Standardized parts offered in incremental Lengths and Diameters<\/p>\n

TCS characteristics are defined much like traditional heater bands. \u00a0Parameter to be defined include:<\/p>\n

Barrel Outside Diameter, Zone Length, and Supply Voltage (V)<\/p>\n

A single TCS heater may replace several traditional band heaters, and because adjacent sections of TCS should be installed with little or no gap, the overall zone width must be defined<\/p>\n

Adjacent TCS sections should be installed with little or no gap between them to minimize heat loss<\/p>\n

Four additional characteristics are needed to ensure optimum benefit from the installed TCS system:<\/p>\n

Power Rating of the Heaters currently Installed on the Barrel<\/p>\n

Percent On-Time of each Zone<\/p>\n

Any Amperage Limits associated with the Power Leads Supplying each Zone<\/p>\n

Verification of Adequate Clearance around the Barrel\u200b<\/p>\n

Interference<\/h2>\n

Slide Show below shows Examples of Interference which must be considered when specifying TCS lengths and verifying clearance (83 mm). \u00a0Click on Slide Show to Enlarge Images.<\/p>\n

TCS is designed for both heat delivery and heat containment and as such has a larger Outside Diameter than traditional band heaters<\/p>\n

83mm (3.25″) clearance is necessary to ensure TCS fits onto the application<\/p>\n
