WATROD
and FIREBAR Screw Plug Immersion Heaters
Screw plug immersion heaters are ideal for
direct immersion heating of liquids,
including all types of oils and heat
transfer solutions.
Available in a variety of sizes, Watlow
screw plug immersion heaters feature both
WATROD round and FIREBAR flat tubular
elements.
Heating elements are hairpin bent and either
welded or brazed into the screw
plug-depending on element sheath and plug
material compatibility.
General purpose (NEMA 1) terminal enclosures
are standard; with optional moisture
resistant (NEMA 4), explosion resistant
(NEMA 7) and explosion/moisture resistant
(NEMA 7/4) enclosures available to meet
specific application needs.
Optional thermostats provide convenient
process temperature regulation.
Duct
Heaters
LDH SERIES and D SERIES
Constructed of sturdy 0.430 in. (11 mm)
diameter WATROD heating elements mounted to
a 1/4 in. (6 mm) thick steel flange, duct
heaters are easily adapted to many
non-pressurized air-haeating systems.
They are easily installed in applications
requiring a wide range of temperature versus
air flow combinations.
The modular duct heater offers increased
reliability. The individual modules are
removable through the housing of the
assembly, which eliminates the need to pull
the complete heater from the ductwork. This
reduces downtime costs because the heating
elements can be replaced individually.
Performance improvements include quicker
response time and reduced infitration from
the air stream being heated into the
electrical enclosure.
Watlow duct heaters offer advantages over
gas or oil fired and open coil electric
units with:
Installation flexibility-no flues or fuel
lines
100 percent energy efficient-no energy loss
up the flue
universal availability of electricity
Resistance coil in Incoloy sheath is
protected from corrosive environments
Finned
Heaters
375 Finned Strip Heaters
Watlow's 375 finned strip is constructed of
highly-compacted MgO-based insulation, which
conducts heat efficiently from the nickel
chromium element wire to the sheath.
Two-inch wide (51 mm) aluminized steel fins
are attached in a way that maximizes surface
contact so heat is transferred into the air
faster. Lower sheath temperature and element
life are all maximized by this finned
construction.
