Compare it to a MB block heater. Is it between 450W and 750 Watt?

Another question?
What do these heater elements look like inside? Is it a single
straight conductor clay-packed inside tube? Is it a spiral shape
conductor clay-packed inside tube? What is the difference in size of
the conductor between 230v and 110v?
Thanks

There is a maximum heat flux that you can pump into water per unit area, before
surface
steam would be generated which would dramatically cut down the heat flux and
result in
overheating and melting of the element. So, he's talking about putting in a
4kW element
in order to get 1kW out of it on

Doesn't the size of the electric wire inside the tube change? i.e.
change the wire to larger diameter and the heater can remain small?

In short, no. You don't specify which way, but for a resistance heater
you'll either get 1/4 the power and tepid water, or else 4x the power
(briefly) and wet slag.

Cut the volts in half and you cut the watts to a quarter.

And he knew a lot more, no doubt. The type of guy we need a million more today.
Will 230v replacement work in 110v?
That is question for Craig, and Watlow / Calrod.

Will 230v work for 110v?

The guy I used to work for would know all that. He seemed to be on a
first name basis with the engineers at both companies. He was 80 at the
time, and ran like he was 20 or 25, kinda like Dax on startrek. He'd
get a call at 3 am from a ship on the other side of the world having

Thanks for that.
Does anyone know system load calculations for calrod heat element?
There is an engineer reading OkieBenz... correct?
Diameter of electrical carrier inside the metal tube is probably
important? Diameter of metal tube is p
WATLOW HAS A HUGE FACILITY IN HANNIBAL, Mo. Think Tom Sawyer, Huck
Finn, Samuel Clemons, Mark Twain. It is right on US 61.

yea, but I assumed mao knew that. it is rated 220, but I'd look for one
240v rated.

Even more important than the watt rating is the volt rating.

I think there are only 2 companies who make 90% or more of all heating
elements. Calrod and Watlow.
My advice: Look on the websites for both, armed with the thread dia and
pitch. (after you decide if it is metric or US) Also get the watt
rating off the element or from the machine nameplate
No... not CalRod, i.e. california hot rod...
Is calrod the copper tube with wire and clay inside used for heating water?
There should be independent repair places that can replace a busted element?
The busted tube here is espresso machine boiler and element has hole
