Thermal Management Systems
Thermal SystemsWatlow's integrated assemblies and systems are composed of multiple thermal components including electric heaters, sensors, control electronics and electrical, electronic and mechanical components and sub-assemblies. These integrated systems are ideal for customers requiring an engineering, design or manufacturing partner. Watlow focuses on assembly and system performance optimization as well as thermal integration and manufacture/assembly.

Capabilities:

  • Clean room assembly
  • Precision CNC machining, laser cutting, etc.
  • Thermal application expertise
  • Electromechanical manufacture, assembly and test
  • High precision welding and brazing
  • Sheet metal fabrication
  • Control systems, panels and sub-panel assemblies to UL®508
  • Custom firmware development
  • PLC integration and programming

Product areas of focus:

  • Integrated Control Systems - Multi-functional sub-panel and full control panels and wiring for equipment system control
  • Thermo-Electro-Mechanical Systems - Integrated and optimized thermal component integration into electromechanical assemblies and systems
  • Field Upgrade Kits

Thermal SystemsAs thermal systems grow in complexity and in-house engineering resources become more scarce, Watlow systems can relieve the burden by providing you the exact thermal system integration services required.

From large skid-mounted thermal systems to contract assembly and process control software, Watlow is the world's largest integrator of heater, sensor and control technology for solving your application needs.

A special blower system requiring 400ºF (200ºC) air was engineered for curing composites. The 81 kW air circulation heater was mounted on a skid with the blower and control system interconnected and factory-tested. A variable-speed motor drive, combined with an SCR power controller, allowed precise air flow and temperature control.

System IntergrationSelf-contained standard control consoles are available from one to eight loop configurations. Units are complete with heavy duty fused line cord, fused output receptacle and lighted on-off rocker switch. Some models include a serial communication option.

Watlow engineers provide a turnkey thermal system that:
  • Reduces your risk in product development
  • Skips the trial and error process
  • Speeds product introduction to market
  • Simplifies parts inventory
  • Offers the economies of a single-source supplier
  • Provides a more, extensive total system warranty

Fast quote turnaround:

  • Same day quotes for integrated standard products
  • Up to 15 working days for large process systems

Five key product and service areas:

  1. Process systems-tubular flange assemblies, pressure vessels, circulation heaters, skid-mount assemblies
  2. Heater and mechanical systems-smaller than process systems; normally welded and mechanically fastened assemblies
  3. System standard products-hot oil, hot water and deionized water systems
  4. System integration and contract assembly-standard products integrated into a higher-level thermal system with customization for each application on a build-per-print basis
  5. Integrated standard products-conventional electromechanical devices, electronic instrumentation devices, interface electronics and standard control and sensor systems
