The new line is comprised of three main platforms: 40 Series temperature and process controllers; 50 Series limit controllers; 80 Series advanced programmable controllers with data logging. Each type of temperature controller is designed to be easy-to-use... (read more)
Convection heat is the transfer of heat from the heater to surrounding air by the natural circulation of air through the heater. In free or natural convection, the air motion is a result of gravitational forces where the heated air is lighter than the cooler air. The heated air rises from the top of the heater and is replaced by cooler air which enters from the bottom. This air current d... (read more)

Radiant heating consists of "radiant energy" being emitted from a heat source. Radiant heating heats a building through radiant heat, rather than other conventional methods including convection heating. The heat energy is emitted from a warm element (floor, wall, overhead panel) and warms people and other objects in rooms rather than directly heating the air.
The internal air temp... (read more)
