Heaters' elements are PTC positive temperature coefficient semiconductors – making the heaters self-limiting.
That is, they reach a set maximum sheath temperature (which is below the ignition point of most combustible materials),
meaning they are especially safe for process applications.
LONG ELEMENT LIFE:
• PTC heater element lasts longer than conventional heaters.
• Will not burn out if run in air.
• Will not burn out due to scale or sludge buildup.
SAFE DESIGN:
Heater self limits its maximum operating temperature to 250 Celsius degree. This is lower than the ignition point of most plastics.
Will not melt tanks when a 1/2' (12mm) minimum distance is maintained.
Overtemperature protection devices are not required.
Safety is built-in, not added on.
Metal-grounded construction (earth ground).
Non-floating construction.
SIZES: 1,000 watts (1kW) to 6,000 watts (6kW).
VOLTAGES::
Three voltage ranges available: 110-120 volt, 200-240 volt, and 380-480 volt.
Heater is available in single or three phase power.
CORROSION RESISTANT HEADS: Vaporresistant, flame retardant polypropylene terminal enclosures each with 3-foot (.9m) flexible PVC liquid tight conduits.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE:
Watt densities of 4 watts/cm2 ensure long service life.
Auto-stabilizing solid state element prevents hot spots and ensures uniform heating.
Heater derates itself in highly viscous and high temperature solutions. Consult factory for sizing assistance.
CHEMICALLY RESISTANT:
For use in most aqueous alkaline, electroplating and rinse solutions. Check our Solution Guide or with your chemical supplier for recommended sheath material. Available in:
304 stainless steel
316 stainless steel
Titanium
Consult factory for the following:
Longer wire and conduit lengths.
Extended cold zones.
Temperature and level controls sized to match the heater.
We recommend temperature controls and level controls for use with this immersion heater.
Built to withstand the stress of acids or other corrosive chemicals while maintaining the highest quality and safety standards, Process Technology fluoropolymer (PTFE) heaters and exchangers are engineered to perform.
