heating elements

A heating element only comes with a gasket when this is specified. If this is not specified a heating element gasket isn’t supplied with the element.

This does depend of which brand of espresso machine you have. Some espresso machine brands don’t use a heating element thermostat at all. Most thermostats are interchangeable with each other, but always make sure that you use a single phase or a 3 phase version, check out the thermostats we have on our website

首先是加热元件的法兰，由于法兰型号的不同，这些加热元件在大多数情况下是不能互换的。另一个重要特征是加热元件的长度。如果太长，就无法安装。如果加热元件太短，锅炉中的热量分布就会不均匀。

Well descaling a heating element is quite simple. A heating element can be placed inside a water tight tube. But the flange can not be submerged, the chance that water gets inside the heating element is possible. Which shorts out the element and makes it unuasable.

To descale a heating element you can use Puly caff Calcinet descaler, this need to be dissolved into hot water. First remove the loose lime scale. If it doesn’t remove all the limescale, repeat the procedure.

The length of a heating element is measured from the inner edge of the flange to the tip of the coil. While this length may have slight variations, they typically fall within a range of 2-5%. This variability arises because different manufacturers may use distinct drawings for their heating elements. It's important to note that espresso machine companies do not manufacture their own elements; instead, they are produced by brands such as Becker, Recor, and Helkra.

If a replacement part corresponds to a specific part number, it is considered compatible, even if its length is slightly greater than specified.
