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.
