The Heat Blocker Thermal Shield Spring manages retention and positioning of a thermal shield by applying a controlled force that holds the shield in its intended location relative to heat sources. When installed, the spring maintains spacing between the thermal shield and adjacent components so radiant and conducted heat is deflected or reduced as intended. The temperature rise and cooling cycles, the spring accommodates thermal expansion and contraction while maintaining contact and alignment of the shield. This controlled flexibility allows the shield to remain effective without a rigid constraint that could lead to distortion or loss of coverage.Attributes:• Maintains spacing between shield and heat source.• Supports positioning of heat blocker components.• Accommodates thermal expansion and contraction.Applications: The Heat Blocker Thermal Shield Spring is used to retain and position thermal shields, maintaining spacing and alignment to reduce heat transfer during operation and service cycles.
