Getting Started with Electrification
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.
White Paper: Electrification and Medium Voltage Process Heater Systems
Decarbonization efforts worldwide,led both by industry leaders and legislation, have increased efforts to shift fossil fuel use to renewables. One way many industrial o industrial organizations can embrace this- and already have- is by shifting process heaters systems from fuel-burning to electric.
WHITE PAPER: How Watt Density Specifications May Be Holding Back Optimal Electric Heat Exchanger Design
Typical customer specifications for a direct electric heat exchanger (DEHE) in forced convection gas applications aim for efficiency and safety given the technology principles that have been in place for the last two decades. While the older specifications are conservative and safe, the design may be sub-optimal.
WHITE PAPER: 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 requirement will be provided by the user based on the explosive gases that may be present in the installation area. Click to read.
WHITE PAPER: 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 designers across the industry are underestimating the temperature profile from the heater flange to terminal enclosure in these thermal systems.
WHITE PAPER: 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. Read more
