Overview
Chromalox DirectConnect systems bring a safe and reliable technical design for metal-sheathed electric process heating and power controls for heating systems operating at medium voltages (up to 7200 V). These patent-pending, DirectConnect medium voltage electric heating systems capture all the advantages of electric process heat while offering significant cost savings over low voltage, high amperage designs.
DirectConnect medium voltage electric systems slash installation and lifecycle costs while providing pollution-free operation for process heating. Aside from lower costs and clean operation, medium voltage electric heating offers advantages such as:
- lowered safety concerns (no open flames)
- stable electricity prices
- minimal maintenance, and
- accurate temperature control.
Some brief examples of the markets and applications served by DirectConnect medium voltage systems:
