WATLOW'S new Cast-X Series 1000 circulation heaters consist of a helically coiled tube cast into an aluminium body with tubular elements. The aluminium body blankets the tubular elements and the coiled tube circulating the heated fluid.
This innovative and cost-effective cast construction provides multiple advantages compared to traditional circulation heaters.
The Cast-X Series 1000 circulation heater's aluminium mass maintains heat accurately and consistently, resulting in an optimum level of temperature control. The aluminium body also efficiently conducts heat away from the tubular elements, prolonging heater life.
The reliable construction of Watlow's Cast-X Series 1000 circulation heaters allows fluid to circulate through a coiled tube instead of being in direct contact with tubular elements.
This feature eliminates hotspots caused by poor flow conditions that typically result from contact between tubular elements and the heated fluid. In addition, because the unit can run dry with the thermostat without damage, there is less chance of overall heater failure and fluid leakage.
The robust, rugged design of Watlow's Cast-X Series 1000 circulation heaters also delivers problem-free operation in a more compact size than traditional heat exchangers.
The Cast-X Series 100 circulation heater is appropriate for numerous applications and may be customised to meet specific customer needs.
