Optional Features
Extended terminal box
Provided when the heater is operating above 500° F to allow for cooler operation of the terminal box. This allows the heating elements to be sealed with epoxy or RTV and for the customer to provide incoming wire with a much lower insulation temperature rating.
ASME
The heater can be supplied in accordance with ASME section VIII Div. 1 U-Part stamped and certified.
Thermostats
Bulb and capillary pilot duty or load carrying thermostats can be provided to control the heater or to provide over-temperature protection. The thermostat bulb can be installed in a thermowell to sense process or element sheath temperature.
Thermocouples
Type J or K thermocouples can be provided to monitor the process or element sheath temperatures. Thermocouples provided with a ceramic wafer head and screw terminals for ease of wiring. Alternate type E or T available but not FastTrack eligible.
Hermetically sealed element terminations
A ceramic to metal soldered seal can be provided to eliminate the possibility of moisture from entering the heating element.
Removable bussing
Allows troubleshooting and isolation of a failed heating element.
Cross-baffle
Construction utilizes alternating half baffles spaced closely to cause increased flow velocity across the heating elements to allow better heat transfer from the elements to the fluid.
Ventilated general purpose cover
Provides means for heat to exhaust from the terminal box to minimize heat buildup.
Add support rods for flange sizes 8” and smaller
Support rods can be added to high flow heaters to keep the element support spacers in place.
Larger heater circuits for greater than 48A per circuit
Heavy wall pipe design
Element bundles with smaller outside diameter can be provided for any flange size requested.
Pickle and Passivate
A chemical treatment in nitric acid can be performed to remove free iron from the outer surface of stainless steel for applications sensitive to contaminants.
Electro-polish
Is a process similar to plating using cathode and anode reactions but material is removed rather than added to the heater surfaces in order to provide a clean and bright finish.
Ring and cover weatherproof or corrosion resistant enclosures
Heavy duty pipe and plate construction.
Other element sheath and flange materials available
Flange ratings greater than 300# are available up to 2500#
