Insert for electrical furnaces comprising an insulating shell and a coiled heater element, the heater element comprising element wire that consists of at least two sections that are interconnected via a bend of element wire in such a way that the bend and the sections mutually form a loop of element
Insert for electrical furnaces comprising an insulating shell and a coiled heater element, the heater element comprising element wire that consists of at least two sections that are interconnected via a bend of element wire in such a way that the bend and the sections mutually form a loop of element wire. A fastening member is fixedly anchored in the insulating shell and arranged in the area of the bend in such a way that the element wire in a section directly connected to the bend is prevented from expanding past the fastening member.

1. An insert for electrical furnaces comprising: an insulating shell having an inside as well as an outside,the inside having a rotationally symmetrical shape around a center axis of the insulating shell, as well as a coiled heater element arranged at the inside of the insulating shell and comprising an element wire of resistance material, wherein the coiled heater element has a center axis that generally coincides with the center axis of the insulating shell, andwherein the element wire includes at least two sections, which are helical turns of the element wire interconnected via a bend of element wire in such a way that the bend and the sections mutually form a coiled loop of element wire about the center axis of the coiled heater element, the at least two sections being axially pitched apart from each other,a center axis of the element wire in at least a part of the bend forming an angle with a center axis of the element wire in a section connected to the bend,a fastening member placed in the area of the bend to prevent thermal expansion of one of the sections of the element wire from accumulating into a next one of the sections of the element wire,the fastening member being fixedly anchored in the insulating shell and arranged in the area of the bend in such a way that the element wire in a section directly connected to the bend is prevented from being displaced past the fastening member into the other section directly connected to the bend,wherein the fastening member is traversed by the element wire of the bend in an axial direction relative to the center axis of the coiled heater element; andwherein the element wire comprises a plurality of bends that divide the element into a plurality of sections, the element wire in each section being prevented from being displaced past a fastening member arranged in the area of a bend connected to the respective section. 2. Insert according to claim 1, wherein each section amounts to at most 1.5 turns of the coil. 3. Insert according to claim 1, wherein the bends as well as fastening members are arranged in a diagonal configuration in relation to the center axis of the coiled heater element. 4. Insert according to claim 1, wherein the insulating shell has a coiled groove in the inner surface thereof in which the element wire of the coiled heater element runs, as well as that the insulating shell has an axial groove in the inner surface thereof in which the bend of the element wire as well as the fastening member are arranged. 5. Insert according to claim 4, wherein the axial groove has a diagonal extension. 6. Insert according to claim 1, wherein the angle is in a plane parallel to the center axis of the coiled heater element. 7. Insert according to claim 1, wherein the angle is in a plane perpendicular to the center axis of the coiled element, that the bend comprises two parallel, or substantially parallel, legs that are interconnected and that have an extension radially inward toward the center axis of the coiled heater element, as well as that the fastening member is arranged between the legs of the bend in such a way that the element wire in a first section is prevented from being displaced past the fastening member toward a second section adjacent to the first section by one of the legs of the bend abutting the fastening member. 8. The insert according to claim 1, wherein the axial pitch between the at least two helical sections is uniform, a first of the at least two helical sections being entirely further in the axial direction than a second of the at least two helical sections, and the at least two helical sections having the same radius of curvature. 9. The insert according to claim 1, wherein each section amounts to one turn or a partial turn of the coil. 10. The insert according to claim 1, wherein the element wire is arranged such that there is a space between the element wire and the insulating shell of the furnace. 11. The insert according to claim 1, wherein each of the helical sections extends axially along the center axis of the coiled heater element. 12. The insert according to claim 1, wherein the bend is arranged in a diagonal configuration relative to the center axis of the coiled heater element.
