An advanced gas-cooled nuclear energy consortium contacted Wattco to help them with their research and development team. The requirement is an industrial heater to heat up Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The gas is for use as a cooling agent with graphite- a neutron moderator – in their nuclear reactor. The nuclear reactor was developed for high gas temperatures for efficiency and additional testing was required to measure heat output as well as additional factors such as pressure drops and its rel...

Iron oxide is also called magnetite. This damaging black sludge is the unavoidable result of oxidation inside untreated hydronic systems. As little as a few teaspoons can cause tremendous damage. In fact, according to Dr. Neil Watson, ADEY® Chief Technical Officer, “nearly 70 percent of circulator pumps returned to pump manufacturers fail due to iron oxide and other water quality issues. Data also show that over 95 percent of debris in hydronic heating systems is made up of iron oxide...

Wattco heaters can be installed in a tank or a container that is mounted on wheels for easy portability. Many applications demand heat in hard-to-reach places, which require heaters to be situated and moved to nearby locations that are not known beforehand. Highly efficient flanged immersion heaters are used where heated gas or liquid is needed. The salient features of heaters on wheels are that all components, such as temperature controllers and control panels are assembled in one unit. The he...

A lot of emphasis is given to industrial heating elements and sheath materials, when discussing the electric heaters. However, equally important are the control panels for process heaters to function effectively. The control panel is a vital part of the immersion heaters to maintain stability. Failure to control the temperature may result in overheating and thereby, causing the deterioration of the medium that is being heated. Wattco makes it a point to design digital control panels for extreme...

The term ‘oil flushing’ is used extensively in the process heating industry to refer to the cleaning of pipes and process equipment. Typical applications use immersion or circulation heaters that heat oil for circulating through the system to a desirable Reynolds number. Viscosity and temperature play critical roles in such conventional oil flushing. In many process applications, conventional oil flushing is not suitable to achieve the desired cleanliness. Additional actions are nee...

Although immersion heaters are most often the best possible solution for tank content heating, sometimes it is not feasible. Wattco highlights some key alternatives. Processing tanks, storage tanks, and holding tanks with immersion heaters are regularly used within the processing industry. Whether these contain water, oil, chemicals, asphalts or another fluid, there is commonly a need for the tanks content to be heated. Heat may be required to: Prevent solidifying or freezing. Maintain the...

Air duct heaters are commonly used in the HVAC industry. They provide supplementary heat to the delivered air inside an air-delivery duct.

With high tensile strength cages and durable tubular heating elements, air duct heaters provide appropriate heating solutions to the power generation industry. Air duct heaters An air duct heater is an electric-resistant heater mounted inside an air-delivery duct. It comprises b...

According to the Carbon Trust, around 40% of commercial floor space is expected to be air-conditioned by 2020, compared with only 10% at the end of 1994. Demand is therefore increasing rapidly and due to this, building owners and operators are encouraged to look carefully at energy consumption, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in particular, to see where savings can be made. The Carbon Trust also suggests that specifying a new air conditioning system should consider both user and...
