Watlow extends Cast-X heater series
A
Watlow product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Mar 24, 2009
Watlow has introduced the Cast-X 3000 circulation heater, an economically priced heater offering high flow volume at the required temperature through a single compact product.
Typical applications include steam generation and superheating for process applications and applications where cleanliness is a major concern.
These include heating volatile materials in situations where contamination could be a problem, such as deionised (DI) water and in food and beverage applications.
The Cast-X 3000 is also available with optional explosion-proof enclosure for hazardous environments.
It consists of two helical coiled tubes and tubular elements cast into a robust aluminium body, which serves as the heat transfer media between the tubular element and the process tubes.
The use of heavy-wall 316L seamless process tubing assures high reliability and high-pressure operation.
The Cast-X 3000 features a fluid path independent of the heater sheath, preventing fluid contamination; an integrated thermostat housing, allowing the heater to run dry, and dual-tube construction, allowing water flow rates to 20 gallons/min when run in parallel.
Its non-welded construction minimises potential leakage, allows high-pressure operation and is self-draining when mounted vertically.
