Circulation Heaters & Circulation Heaters
Open the catalog to page 1Circulation HeatersHYDROSAFE® Heat Exchanger HYDROSAFE®, Watlow’s indirect electric heat exchanger for dry gas seal applications, has been designed as a standardized thermal solution that minimizes custom engineering requirements because it can be adapted to a variety of conditions. The HYDROSAFE provides very flexible heating capabilities (12 to 31.2kW) to compensate for changes in gas flow rates, or changes in gas composition, when interconnected to our purpose engineered WATCONNECT® control panel. Multiple units may be connected in series for higher kW needs. The HYDROSAFE holds complete...

Open the catalog to page 6Circulation Heaters STARFLOW™ Heaters The STARFLOW™ circulation heater is engineered to heat a flowing gas stream to 1000°F (537°C). The 316L stainless steel chamber houses a small diameter sheathed element, which allows for quick response to both heat-up and cool down cycles. Watlow’s starwound, coiled cable heater provides extremely efficient and reliable heating by maximizing the contact area of the gas or fluid with the element. Because the element is sheathed, the unit can operate in gas streams requiring a clean environment as well as atmospheres containing contaminants and moisture....

Open the catalog to page 8Circulation HeatersWATROD™ and FIREBAR® Circulation Heaters Circulation heaters provide a ready-made means to install electric heating with a minimal amount of time and labor. This is accomplished by combining heating elements, vessel, insulation, terminal enclosure, mounting brackets and inlet and outlet connections into a complete assembly. Made from NPT screw plug or ANSI flange heater assemblies mated with a pressure vessel (tank), circulation heaters are designed to heat forced-circulation air, gases or liquids. Ideal for either in-line or side-arm operations, these assemblies direct...

If required, Watlow will configure circulation heaters with voltages and wattages outside these parameters. For more information on special voltage and...
Open the catalog to page 12Circulation Heaters WATROD and FIREBAR Circulation Heaters Technical Data Maximum Velocities The rate at which a gas or liquid flows through inlet and outlet pipes is critical to maintaining the desired output temperature. Pressure drop through the circulation heater must be considered to properly size blowers or pumps. The Maximum Velocity to Avoid Excessive Pressure Drop chart gives recommended maximum velocities, in feet per second and meters per second of gas or liquid being heated and nominal pipe size. Maximum Velocity to Avoid Excessive Pressure Drop Vessel Orientation Guidelines...
