CA 2234149

A high efficiency, direct conduction track switch heater (24) and associated spring clamp are disclosed. The heater (24) includes a generally blade-shaped jacket (68) dimensioned for mounting on the gauge side (26) of a fixed rail (22) at the track switch interface (62). The jacket dimensions reduce the likelihood of impact damage due to track switching while providing an enlarged heat transfer surface (66). The spring clamp presses the heater (24) tightly against the rail (22) while accommodating normal thermal expansions and providing a narrow profile for the overall heater and clamp assembly.

L'invention concerne un réchauffeur (24) d'aiguille de voie à haute efficacité et conduction directe ainsi qu'une bride à ressort associée. Le réchauffeur (24) comprend une chemise (68) ayant la forme générale d'une lame dimensionnée pour permettre un montage sur le côté intérieur (26) d'un rail fixe (22), au niveau de l'interface (62) de l'aiguille de voie. Les dimensions de la chemise réduisent le risque de détérioration par impact dû à l'aiguille de voie, tout en permettant d'agrandir la surface (66) de transfert de chaleur. La bride à ressort exerce une pression sur le réchauffeur (24) se trouvant ainsi en contact étroit contre le rail (22) tout en permettant des dilatations thermiques normales et donne à l'ensemble global réchauffeur et bride un profil étroit.
