Our development in oil and gas industries, renewable energy, HVAC systems and government projects help customer like you to get alternative solutions for your projects to get off the ground in the most cost efficient way.

Inline heaters can be custom designed for your specific application. In this video, an immersion heating system is used with an auxiliary circulation heater with the capability of providing a boost in power when needed. The control panel uses thermocouples to help regulate and protect the process.

WATTCO™ duct heaters come in various sizes and dimensions to fit any compartment. There are three types of duct heaters available: open coil, tubular or finned tubular heating elements that are either flanged or inserted in the duct. Air duct heaters are primarily used in air flowing ventilation systems and comfort-heating applications while process duct heaters are mainly used for industrial process heating applications (ovens that require re-circulated air or forced circulation).

Immersion heaters are some of Wattco's most popular products. They are one of the best heating solutions available due to their precision, efficiency, and low maintenance costs. Immersions heaters, according to their names, are directly immersed in the substance being heated. This direct contact between the heating element and the item being heater means that only a minimal amount of energy is lost during the heating process.

Electric resistance heating, the method by which all electric heating methods work, is 100% efficient. Using the correct term, electric heaters operate at nearly 1- AFUE(annual fuel utilization efficiency). All of the electrical energy used is turned into heat.

When compared to an alternative such as natural gas, the advantages of electric heating are obvious as heat created by burning natural gas is only on average 32-38% efficient. That means that 60-70% of the potential energy in natural gas is lost and is not used to produce heat. However, the question as to are electric heaters more efficient than their counterparts is more complex than that.

Wattco flanged heaters allow the flexibility of using many different alloys to help resist corrosion and maintain life longevity of the flanged heating element Steel flanges are typically used for lubricant oils, heavy and light oils, waxes as well as mildly corrosive liquids and low flow gas heating. Steel flanges can also be found in immersion heaters for water tanks. These flanged heaters are used to process soap and detergent solutions as well as demineralized or deionized water. Stainless steel flanged heaters are used with mildly corrosive solutions as well as severe corrosive solutions. Food applications also use stainless steel for sanitary purposes. The sheath materials used in a flanged heater can be steel, stainless steel, copper as well as exotic alloys such as inconel, hastalloy and titanium. Extremely corrosive environments such as salt water should use exotic alloys such as titanium to avoid sheath breach over excessive duration

Immersion heaters come in a variety of sizes, power and features. This video shows how some electric heaters are used in petrochemical, chemical, oil and gas industries. More information can be found at www.wattco.com.

Wattco uses high quality stainless steel and other exotic alloys to meet the requirements of any application. Together with a digital control panel, this heater becomes the perfect solution to heating large containers with no access to the liquid except from the top. Brackets are used to support the heater onto the wall of the tank and cold sections are carefully calculated to prevent over heating when water or liquid levels drop below certain levels as a result of evaporation or drainage. Using high quality alloys, Wattco over the side heaters are strong enough to physically withstand many harsh environments both indoors and outdoors. Commonly used in petroleum and chemical industries it is an exceptional choice for projects with limited budgets.Over the side immersion heaters are specifically designed such that they can be installed in the upper portion of tanks. The substance to be heated is either below the industrial tank heater or onto one side, hence the name.

Circulation heaters are used when circuits of flowing liquid exist and users are looking for minimal (or gradual) heat applications. The temperature of the liquid starts off at ambient temperature but the residual heat that already exists in a well insulated circuit is assisted with bursts of gradual cyclical heat from a heat source: the flanged immersion heater.

Immersion heaters are one of the most important sources to complete numerous heating projects. Different industries use special types of liquids, kept in containers, processing equipment and large tanks, to heat fluids. Through direct heating, companies are able to quickly attain the required temperature- whether they are using pipe heaters, circulation, over the side heaters or any other kind. They have a lot of importance in almost every industry however, petrochemical, chemical and process industry where companies need fast heating up time.

Circulation heaters are used in heating glycol liquids, water, oil based liquids such as antifreeze, crude oil and other petrochemical based products.

Chemicals with acidic properties often require a lower watt density to prevent the erosion of a sheath (stainless steel 316 is often used) in which case for larger containers, Wattco flanged heaters are used. For smaller mixtures, often 500 gallons or less, screw plug heaters are used for their ease of use and maintenance.

In order to provide the precise safety mechanism of the heating system, control panels can also be entirely customized to meet most of the requirements of the target application. There are a variety of terminal boxes available to select depending on the protection for: moisture, explosion, waterproof, and dustproof. A NEMA 1 standard terminal box is normally suitable for non-hazardous area operation.Industrial control panels are used to regulate temperature and provide safety mechanisms in place to prevent overheating your liquid and protect your heating elements. Control panels come in many different terminal boxes - standard NEMA 1 terminal boxes, dust proof boxes, waterproof boxes and explosion proof boxes for hazardous areas. Digital controllers are used to display ambient and target temperatures of your solution. They contain contactors, relays, fuses, on - off disconnect switches, and other components to help regulate your Wattco heater in a safe environment.
