Reducing Heater Fouling in a Bisphenol A (BPA) Application Using HELIMAX™
By using HELIMX™ circulation heaters in its BPA processing, a manufacturer was able to widen its maintenance window by two to three times what it traditionally has been, saving both time and money. Re...
Getting Started with Electrification: Demand Flexibility, Predictive Load Management and the Future of Plant Efficiency
As any engineer will understand, getting started with an electrification project is not as simple as swapping out a gas-fired process for an electric one. This white paper will help you get started.
Determining Temperature Class for Electric Process Heaters
Electric process heaters that interface with flammable materials in explosive environments need to be properly evaluated to protect the equipment against catastrophic failures. A temperature class req...
Better Predicting Terminal Enclosure Temperature to Improve Heater Reliability
One of the most common failures in electric process heaters used in various industrial applications involves electrical terminations and not the heating elements. Engineers at Watlow® believe designer...
