Controls suit refrigeration or heating
Flexicold is a software function that automatically adapts to changing working conditions of a refrigerator unit, for example if warm products are placed in the fridge or a door is opened frequently.
200-450 Watts of heating power is delivered by the jacket's braided rope heater elements from either a 110 or 230V AC supply fed via a 3 metre crush-safe braided cable.
Jacket temperature is thermostatically controlled within a range of 0 - 90°C.
The base unit, manufactured from resilient-coated heavy gauge mild steel, houses a 900 Watt wire element, glass impregnated, silicone heater mat.
Insulated with 50mm rock wool, it provides a temperature range of 20 - 150°C, which is controlled by a capillary thermostat.
Power-on and load switching indicators are accessed via a rear control aperture.
Tested to be more thermally efficient than higher power units, the base heater features a special taper-edged platform to provide safe location of drums while in operation.
Both the HAWCO side drum heater jacket and the base drum heater units are CE marked and conform to EEC low voltage and EMC directives.
