| Watlow tubular heating elements and process assemblies are primarily designed for
immersion heating water, oils, viscous materials, solvents, process solutions, air and
gases. Elements are generally assembled onto screw plugs or flanges for direct immersion,
or placed in a heat exchanger to create a circulation heater. A wide variety of sheath
materials match process substance and operating temperature requirements. WATROD round
tubular elements and FIREBAR® flat tubular elements provide the widest choice of size,
watt density and sheath temperature ranges to meet the most demanding applications.
WATROD elements are used for heating dies by mounting in a milled groove plus special
WATROD duct heater mounting systems provide a modular approach to achieving kW
requirements.
Depending on element style and sheath material, operating temperatures vary up to a
maximum of 1400°F (760°C) with maximum watt densities of 120 W/in2 (18.6 W/cm2). |
