Watlow® is now offering WATCONNECT® standard control panels that are quickly configured to your specific application requirements and delivered within two weeks. WATCONNECT panels integrate Watlow’s high-quality heater, sensor, temperature controller and power controller products for a complete thermal solution. Normally, competitive custom panels require significantly longer lead times. The broad range of standard features allows customers to quickly configure panels that usually would be considered custom for delivery within two weeks.
Watlow® has over 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing heat exchangers, and we have the knowledge, experience and expertise required to create optimal heating solutions. Watlow has taken tried and true, critical design criteria and improved it to create a new generation heating technology – the OPTIMAX® heat exchanger.
HYDROSAFE®, Watlow’s new indirect electric heat exchanger for dry gas seal applications, has been designed as a standardized thermal solution that minimizes custom engineering requirements because it can be adapted to a variety of conditions. The HYDROSAFE provides very flexible heating capabilities (12 to 31.2 kW) to compensate for changes in gas flow rates, or changes in gas composition, when interconnected to our purpose engineered WATCONNECT® control panel. Multiple units may be connected in series for higher kW needs.

Watlow’s new ASPYRE® power controller family is flexible and scalable, and available with a variety of options allowing one platform to be re-used across a wide range of applications, which can help save time and money. ASPYRE models available include sizes from 35 to 700 amps.
The F4T with INTUITION® temperature process controller from Watlow® offers a wide range of field removable I/O modules for maximum design flexibility. Configurations can be custom tailored to meet the scaling needs of a tremendous range of equipment and applications while providing exactly the hardware types required for compatibility.
Watlow’s new FLUENT in-line heater is a small, lightweight, high-performance heater that can replace both a traditional immersion type heater or a heater wrapped around a tube as part of a thermal system. Watlow’s FLUENT heater is designed as an integrated solution that replaces multiple components in a system. This heater design reduces overall system cost and complexity. Because of its high watt density, it offers ultra-fast response leading to higher system performance.
How ULTRAMIC® advanced ceramic heaters offer more design flexibility for mass spectrometers and other pieces of analytical equipment Advanced ceramic heaters offer a number of benefits when it comes to the design and marketing of analytical equipment. Many of the heaters used in today’s analytical equipment are metal-sheathed heaters based on legacy technology designed some 20 or 30 years ago, potentially limiting design innovation. By contrast, today’s advanced ceramic heaters are smaller, respond faster, can be more accurately controlled and can be more resistant to environmental contamination. They also offer more design flexibility and are easier to integrate into equipment, simplifying the manufacturing and assembly process. Watlow’s ULTRAMIC advanced ceramic heaters in particular can help analytical equipment manufacturers improve product performance and design, as well as accelerate their time to market.
Download White PaperElectric process heaters that interface with flammable materials in explosive environments need to be properly evaluated to protect the equipment against catastrophic failures. There are several possible protection methods that may be employed to protect from a potential explosion. A temperature class requirement will be provided by the user based on the explosive gases that may be present in the installation area. The maximum surface temperature of the process heater must then be evaluated to assure compliance. Temperature classes that are based on the maximum operating temperature for heaters prescribe the level of safeguards. Determining the temperature class for a specific electric process heater is unique compared to other electrical components installed in classified locations. The temperature code, or T-code, is highly dependent on the process conditions of the heating application. Global Temperature Classes/Codes are broken down into the following various levels.

Download White PaperIt has generally been assumed in energy process heaters that pins attaching heating elements to the power terminal do not generate heat on their own. That is why they are called cold pins. Engineers at Watlow believe cold pins actually generate heat creating an environment that is leading to heater failures.
