Product catalog summary
Introduction
The FIBROTHAL handbook by Kanthal AB outlines heating and insulation systems using ceramic fibers for industrial furnaces, focusing on energy efficiency. Introduced in 1978, these systems include vacuum-formed ceramic fiber components, with or without electric heating elements.

Technical Data – General
The handbook specifies KF-modules, which resist most chemicals except hydrofluoric acid, phosphoric acid, and strong bases. They retain properties after drying. Tolerances for dimensions and electrical resistance are provided.

Atmospheres
FIBROTHAL elements are suitable for various furnace atmospheres, with maximum element temperatures specified. Gas-tight muffles are recommended to prevent carbon deposition, and the impact of different gases on elements is discussed.

Power Limitation
Guidelines for maximum load relative to furnace temperature are provided, including a rule of thumb for voltage installation based on area requirements for free radiating and embedded elements.

Technical Data – Standard Range
Standard modules are made with embedded heating elements using two principles: embedding KANTHAL A-1 wires in ceramic fiber modules (Principle I) and a free-radiating design for heating tubes (Principle II). Maximum element temperatures and manufacturing processes are specified.

Figures and Tables
Figures illustrate heating modules and configurations, while tables provide technical data on ceramic fiber modules and permissible element temperatures in different atmospheres.

Overview
The document details specifications and configurations for FIBROTHAL heating panels and half-cylinders, including dimensions, power ratings, voltage, resistance, and terminal arrangements. Design and assembly options are also discussed.

Specifications
FIBROTHAL panels come in various dimensions, with a maximum width or length of 1050 mm. Customization with additional unheated edges is possible. Multiple configurations with specific power, voltage, and resistance values are listed.

Design and Assembly
Panels accommodate heating elements on surfaces, with ceramic cup assembly options for roof or side wall installations. Standard connection design includes threaded rods, with flexible leads available upon request.

Half-Cylinders
Details on half-cylinder designs for horizontal operation include dimensions, power, voltage, and resistance. Standard threaded bolt connections are used, with alternative designs available.

Key Data from Tables
Tables provide comprehensive data on models, including type designation, part numbers, dimensions, power, voltage, resistance, terminal arrangement, and weight, aiding in selecting appropriate heating panels or half-cylinders for applications.

Technical Data - Standard Range Heating Modules FIBROTHAL standard heating modules are manu-factured with embedded heating elements, two prin-ciples being followed. Principle I With this method the KANTHAL A-1 heating wires (diameter < 3.5 mm (0.14 in)) are embedded in the ceramic fiber module made of F3 fiber. The maximum element temperature is 1150°C (2100°F). This design is protected by patent. For optimum heat radiation: ͕ The heating wire is made with an oval cross-section Part of the face of the heating wire is bare Օ The inside of the heating wires is largely free of ceramic fibers Panels...

Principle II With this method - used exclusively for heating tubes - a heating wire of KANTHAL A-1 (diameter 5 mm (0.20 in)) is formed to fit into a ceramic fiber module of F17 fiber with ceramic spacers. In this case the heating element lies on the surface of the insulation and is virtually free-radiating. The maximum element temperature is 1300°C (2370°F). A complete range of moulds is available for manufac-turing the standard modules. There are therefore no mould costs in this case. In the new edition of this brochure the previous voltages have been converted to the Eurovoltage (400/230 V)....

Half-Cylinders For horizontal opration the upper half shell should be designed for the pin system (for explanation see Heating Panels). The connections are designed as standard in the form of threaded bolts M8 x 75 mm (2.95 in) long on the back of the module. Other connection designs are available on request, e.g. flexible leads (see Accessories). Fig. 16 FIBROTHAL standard half-cylinders 18

Insulating Parts FIBROTHAL insulating parts are available in the same standard dimensions as the heating modules. The standard range also includes insulating end pieces which fit the outside diameters of the half-cylinders and tubes. If necessary these end pieces can also be supplied drilled to the size of the work tube. The standard thickness is 125 mm (4.92 in) or 50 mm (1.97 in); other dimensions are also available.
