Process Air Heaters [Overview]
Overview for Chromalox Process Air Heaters. Heat processing applications vary widely from industry to industry. Curing, drying, heat treating, comfort heating, sterilizing and bonding represent just a few of the many uses for electrically heated air. Applications vary in temperature from super cool cryogenic to high temperatures up to 1200°F. Chromalox electric heaters can also be designed to heat special atmospheres such as argon or nitrogen. Special materials and custom designs are available for marine applications, power plants or hazardous applications.

Packaged Large Tank Heater Systems [Design Guide]
Specification for Packaged Large Tank Heaters Systems. A major portion of the heating operations in large storage tanks can be performed at night during off peak power rates. Frequently, only small amounts of heat are required to sustain temperature levels in the tank during the daytime. Using Chromalox packaged control centers, large tank heating systems can be operated with little or no manual attention. The needed heat can be applied economically and automatically by using strategically located thermostats to monitor tank temperatures and energize the heaters. The heating operation may be fully automated by using time clocks to program the start and stop of both off peak and daytime heating functions.
