Unlock Your Ability to Electrify Larger Thermal Loads with POWERSAFE™
Medium Voltage. Minimum Infrastructure. Maximum Impact.
Medium Voltage. Minimum Infrastructure. Maximum Impact.
POWERSAFE™ is a medium voltage electric thermal solution that offers longer heater life and reduces the downtime associated with fossil fueled equipment by fully integrating a safe and reliable electric heat exchanger and control system with unique design to lower coil temperatures.
As your process requires higher power, POWERSAFE lowers the overall installation and capital expense by eliminating the need for additional cabling and step-down transformers that is typical with lower voltage systems. If you are looking for a safe and reliable way to reduce your carbon footprint and eliminate the need for fossil fueled equipment, Watlow’s POWERSAFE offers a unique and efficient integrated system design with smaller footprint that aligns with your sustainability and net-zero goals.
The Transition To Medium Voltage
Why POWERSAFE™?
POWERSAFE™ doesn't just avoid combustion — it uses MV-direct architecture, high-efficiency power control, purpose-built busing, and integrated protection/diagnostics to cut specific loss mechanisms and decrease downtime drivers.
No Combustion Losses or Purge Cycles
No flue/stack, no excess air, no pre/post purges, controller efficiency >99% means minimal electrical conversation loss feeding the heater.
Simplified Air Handling and Reduced Maintenance
No FD/ID fans in the process path; power section uses N+ 1 SCR cooling fans, eliminating big combustion air movers.
Compact, Efficient Thermal Design
Shorter, insulated flow path reduces external surface area when compared to fired boxes/ducts.
Built-In Redundancy for Maximum uptime
Controller cooling is redundant. A single fan failure doesn't trip the unit.
Optimized Heat Transfer and Fluid Integrity
Enhanced fluid dynamics and optimized film temperature via proprietary internals keeps film/sheath temps in spec to avoid fluid cracking/cooking and for steadier transfer coeficients
Clean Electrical Performance and System Harmony
Zero-cross SCR control minimizes conducted/radiated noise at firing, which means fewer nuisance interactions with nearby instrumentation.
Lower Cost of Ownership
Heater lengths up to 20 feet allow for design flexibility, enabling smaller, lighter heat exchangers while reducing vessel count, and an optional 10% element redundancy helps minimize bundle replacement.
