Power Generation Self-regulating heat trace counteracts pipe heat loss and freeze protection in general- purpose applications. Mineral-insulated cable is best for high-temperature, molten salt transfer lines.

Molten Salt Storage Immersion and LTFX-style tank heaters provide high-temperature maintenance in corrosive molten salt storage tanks.

Metal Inline Printing and Drying Heat transfer systems, immersion heaters, and component heaters provide the heat source for certain drying and curing applications. Component heaters are ideal for equipment produced by manufacturers for custom applications.

Firing and Diffusion Furnaces Immersion heaters are used as radiant heat sources for maintaining temperatures. Tubular and cartridge heaters are effective heat sources for custom-designed drying and furnace applications.

Ingredient Tanks Immersion heaters are used to pre-heat or super- heat materials before being introduced to the manufacturing process.

Vaporizers Designed for use with organic fluids to transfer heat at high temperatures and low pressures, Chromalox pre-engineered, prewired, and pre-piped packages are designed for flexible, dependable, and efficient operation. All units are ASME-certified to 150 psi at 750ºF (400ºC) with 300 lb construction throughout. Seal-welded element design eliminates leaks and im- proves serviceability. Available with over-pressure, process, remote, or skid-mounted controls.

Heat Transfer Systems Our hot oil and water systems are safe, versatile, user- friendly self-contained heating and cooling packages that provide direct or indirect process heating. Pre- engineered and constructed with carefully matched components, these systems eliminate component selection and assembly, and provide easy installation and trouble-free operation.

Immersion Heaters The stainless steel sheath elements and thermowells in our flanged and screw plug immersion heaters are ideal for process water applications. A wide variety of ANSI and customized flanges and element lengths is available with ratings up to 500 kW. A patented 360º rotatable housing is available on most models of our screw plug models to facilitate easy conduit connections.

Circulation Heaters Chromalox circulation heaters afford high-energy efficiency, fast heating, and uniform heat distribution for numerous plant heating applications. They provide high turn-down capability, tight outlet temperature control, and variable flow rates. A variety of electrical terminal enclosures is available to meet the requirements of your application.

Polysilicon Production Electric inline circulation heaters are perfectly designed for process heating and essential to polysilicon production. Custom designed to man- age high pressures, temperatures, and corrosion, circulation heaters provide pre-heat and super- heat for many process materials, from STC and TCS to hydrogen, ammonia, and dopant gases.

Process Heating Using specialty heat-transfer fluids, vaporizers provide heat for the most corrosive and difficult applications, from silane-based raw materials to ammonia for cell processing.

Laminators Hot oil heat transfer systems provide direct or indirect heat for most lamination applications. Due to tempera- ture, pressures, and corrosion, band and strip heaters are often a most effective indirect heating source and produce cost savings.

Direct Chamber Heating Designed to fit any vessel, oven, or custom equipment, Chromalox immersion heaters can be used to

pre-heat and maintain the temperatures of deposition chambers.

Indirect Chamber Heating Due to temperatures, pressure, and corrosion, indirect heating methods using band and strip heaters are often most effective for pre-heating deposition chambers. Hot oil heat transfer systems are perfect for high-temperature indirect heating of ovens and chambers up to 750ºF (400ºC).

Process Transfer Lines Electric heat trace is essential to polysilicon production, from providing typical pipe freeze protection to temperature maintenance in trans- fer lines of temperature-sensitive materials.

Component Heaters Component heaters can be used by themselves and they can be integrated into more complex heating systems providing a complete thermal solution for your heating requirements. Shape and size most often are the determining factor in most heater applications. Chromalox carries the widest selection of standard component heaters in many shapes, sizes, and wattages.

Heat Trace and Controls Heat trace is used to counteract the heat loss from process equipment and piping through its insulation, to prevent solution precipitation and the increase of viscosity or solidification of product, and to provide freeze protection. Chromalox offers a variety of heat trace cable; temperature control, monitoring, and management in one, modular package; and all of the necessary components needed to complete the installation, including splices, power connection boxes, and water-resistant end-seal terminations.

Tank Heaters Specially designed to fit high-temperature and corro- sive applications. Chromalox offers multiple products for large stationary, small portable, and underground tanks for just about any material and location.

Control Systems From basic, low-cost temperature and process con- trollers, to monitors and overtemperature controls, to more sophisticated control systems like the Chromalox ® intelliPANEL ™ 3-phase SCR power control panel featur- ing unique color touchscreen technology, Chromalox can design the right system for your plant’s needs. We are the only heating element supplier offering a com- plete line of controls, control panels, and accessories.
