ELECTRIC IMMERSION HEATERS

Process Technology electric immersion heaters are designed for the demands of corrosive chemical heating. Open tank, screw plug and flange configurations are available. A wide variety of sheath materials ensure long life regardless of the chemistry. Materials include: fluoropolymer, quartz, titanium, 316 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel and plain steel. Sizes as small as 100 watts for laboratory environments and as large as 54,000 watts (flange heater up to 270,000 watts) for industrial applications are available. Many standard configurations are available from stock. Quick lead times are available for custom configured heaters. (Manufacturing lead times can be as short as two or three days.) Heaters are UL, CSA and CE.

Fluoropolymer (PTFE) Heaters: Compatible with virtually any chemistry. Sizes up to 27 kW. Large variety of standard and custom configurations for over the side and bottom installations.

Metal Heaters: Variety of materials to match your application (titanium, 316 stainless, 304 stainless and plain steel). Sizes up to 54 kW. Standard and custom configurations for over the side and bottom installations.

Quartz Heaters: Ideal for most acidic chemistries. Metal grounded quartz sheathed heaters up to 30 kW. Polypropylene guards standard.

Special Application Heaters: Unique or difficult applications are our specialty. Configurations available include: lab heaters, flexible riser heaters, phosphate heaters, deep tank heaters, Varipower^TM heaters, EasyPlug^TM heaters, etc.

Water Heaters: Excellent for DI spray rinse, precision cleaning and other applications. Electric inline water heaters with all titanium wetted parts. Sizes up to 144 kW.

Screw Plug and Flanged Heaters: Wide variety of heater types and features to fit virtually any application. Stainless, titanium, fluoropolymer and other materials. Sizes from ½" screw plug to 14" flanged.

COIL AND HEAT EXCHANGERS

Process Technology heat exchangers and heating/cooling coils are designed for the demands of corrosive chemical heating. A wide variety of standard and custom configurations are available. Materials of construction include: fluoropolymer, titanium, 316 stainless steel, plain steel, and several exotic metals such as Zirconium. Most of our heat exchangers are open tank designs, however, we also have some inline designs such as stainless steel spiral plate units. Excellent engineering and design assistance is available upon request.

Metal Coils: Heat exchangers designed and built to your specific application, including simple "U" coils, single and multi bank grid coils, helical coils, serpentine coils, standard and custom designs. Wide variety of materials available.

Fluoropolymer Coils: Excellent chemical compatibility. Rugged construction with perforated guards. Variety of sizes and configurations available.

Inline Heat Exchangers: Engineered specifically to your needs. Spiral plate, tube-in-tube and other designs available. Variety of materials of construction.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS AND ACCESSORIES

Process Technology offers an extensive assortment of cataloged and custom temperature control systems for precise control of our heaters and heat exchangers. From simple control packages to complex central control stations, our team of engineers can design a control specifically to your application requirements. All controls are UL/CSA, with CE configured controls available upon request. Styles include digital display, non-indicating, on/off, and PID. Switch gear for electrical loads of up to 150 amps are available.

Temperature Controls: Sophisticated digital to simple non-indicating controls. Combination controls up to 150 amp capacity. Custom designed central control stations.

Liquid Level Controls: Conductivity and capacitive style controls for the ultimate in reliability. Multi-level controls available. Can be packaged with temperature controls.
