St. Louis – The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted Watlow Electric Manufacturing Co. with a patent on its Rapid Response electric heat exchanger, a circulation heater for gases and other fluids.
The electric heat exchanger heats gases and fluids as they circulate through the unit’s tubular design. It offers users a quick response rate and peak performance in high-pressure conditions for applications requiring a high degree of precision. Applications include solvent replacement, fuel cell gas heating, biomass extraction, refrigeration systems, gas heating, humidity generation, bio reclamation and food and deionized water heating.
Can be custom-configured to fit into small areas without sacrificing wattage. Has integral temperature sensing and is energy efficient. Since the entire heater is immersed in the circulated chemistry, it virtually eliminates heat loss to the surrounding environment. In some applications, heat loss can be reduced further through the use of molded insulation surrounding the heating element.

TapCommunicator is for remote, high-fidelity communications of boundary-scan test vectors and device programming data, using existing communication links.
Overcomes previous range limitations; consists of an ‘Uplink’ and a ‘Downlink’ module, both compatible with IEEE Std. 802.3z –1998 (Gigabit Ethernet) and IEEE Std. 1149.1, which code and decode the boundary-scan applications. Allows limitless high-speed links between tester and target with no signal degradation. Based on TapSpacer technology, developed and patented by Patria Advanced Solutions. Also operates on the standard IEEE 1149.1 protocols and state machine, so is vendor-independent and can be used with any compliant tester, emulator or programmer product.
Applications include: remote system control for in-service test, re-configuration or upgrade; environmental testing; and factories with multiple production lines.

TT electronics’ BI Technologies SMT Division has released a series of planar heater products with ratings up to 50W for military, computing, telecommunications, medical and commercial applications.
According to Jim Rieley, sales director, the company has developed surface mount, through-hole and custom-profiled planar resistive heaters. “Because they are available in a power rating range of 2 to 50W, they can be used for a wide variety of applications,” Rieley explained. “For example, by spreading our 2W surface mount heaters over PC boards, heat is targeted to where it’s needed to maintain optimum operating temperature in severe cold weather conditions. Engineers can also position our through-hole planar heaters (3 to 50W) adjacent to individual modules. This targets the heat, rather than heating the complete inside of enclosures, making this method of heating much more energy efficient.”
The company also provides profiled heaters for outdoor computer accessories such as keypads, LCD displays, disk drives, card readers and various drive mechanisms.
Thermal measurement components may be placed directly onto the substrate-heating element to provide an accurate interface to the control electronics. Additional applications include military systems, parking meters, medical equipment, telecom repeaters, external cameras, drive mechanisms and printers, as well as baby bottle warmers, domestic irons, hair straighteners, fish tank heaters, hair dryers, air fresheners and bug-free vapor atomizers etc.
Printed on ceramic substrates, resistance ranges from 0.1Ω to 100KΩ, with tolerances to ±1%, TCRs to ±100ppm/°C and operating temperature of -55° to +155°C. Maximum operating voltage is 250V.
