FIREROD® IMMERSION HEATERS
COMPACT HEATER ENABLES VERSATILE HEATING SYSTEM DESIGN
FIREROD water immersion heaters are ideal for replacing large screw-plug immersion heaters. Because of its compact size the product can be very versatile when designed into a heating system.
These water immersion heaters come complete with a brass 3⁄4 inch National Pipe Thread (NPT) double threaded fitting, which allows you to add conduit boxes. Also, FIREROD immersion heaters are sealed at the lead end with a silicone rubber seal.
Solid copper leads, with silicone rubber sleeves, are provided for unrestricted wiring. These units are recommended for immersion in water or 90+ percent water soluble solutions.
- Nickel-chromium resistance wire precisely centered in the unit ensures even, efficient distribution of heat to the sheath
- MgO insulation compacted to the proper density results in high dielectric strength and contributes to faster heat-up
- Alloy 800 sheath resists corrosion from water
- Metallurgically-bonded conductor pins for trouble-free electrical continuity
- 240 and 480VAC voltage allows flexibility in wiring the heater for use in your particular applications

MINERAL INSULATED THERMOCOUPLES – STYLE AC – STANDARD PLUG OR JACK TERMINATION
WATLOW’S MINERAL INSULATED (MI) THERMOCOUPLES ARE FAST-RESPONDING, DURABLE AND CAPABLE OF HANDLING HIGH TEMPERATURES.
Manufactured with best-in-class XACTPAK®, Watlow’s trademark for metal sheathed, mineral insulated (MI) thermocouple material, XACTPAK responds fast because the protective metal outer sheath allows use of smaller diameter thermocouple conductors. The rock hard compacted MgO insulation further enhances the sensor’s ability to “read” temperature by transferring heat quickly to the measuring junction.
The XACTPAK protecting sheath and compacted insulation outperform bare wire thermocouples in most applications

LDH SERIES AND D SERIES DUCT HEATERS
EASILY ADAPTED TO MANY NON-PRESSURIZED AIR HEATING SYSTEMS
Watlow duct heaters are constructed of sturdy 0.430 in. (11 mm) diameter WATROD heating elements mounted to a 1⁄4 in. (6 mm) thick steel flange. These air duct heaters are easily adapted to many non-pressurized air-heating systems.
Duct heaters are easily installed in applications requiring a wide range of temperature versus air flow combinations.
The modular duct heater offers increased reliability. The individual modules are removable through the housing of the assembly, which eliminates the need to pull the complete heater from the ductwork. This reduces downtime costs because the heating elements can be replaced individually. Performance improvements include quicker response time and reduced infiltration from the air stream being heated into the electrical enclosure.
Watlow air duct heaters offer advantages over gas or oil fired and open coil electric units with:
-Installation flexibility—no flues or fuel lines
-100 percent energy efficient—no energy loss up the flue
-Universal availability of electricity
-Resistance coil in sheath is protected from corrosive environments
-Duct heaters with general purpose enclosures meet UL® and CSA component recognition to 480 and 600VAC maximum respectively—UL® and CSA file numbers are E52951 and 31388.- Long life alloy 800 sheath resists corrosion/oxidation while protecting resistance coils against contamination
- MgO insulation filled elements compacted to rock hard density maximizes dielectric strength, heat transfer and life
- Field replaceable heating elements permits easy service and reduces downtime
- General purpose terminal enclosure offers easy access to wiring
- WATROD hairpins are recompacted after bending to eliminate hot spots and electrical insulation voids

PUMP AND GAS LINE HEATING SYSTEMS
INCREASE TOOL UPTIME AND PROCESS YIELDS
Watlow’s gas line heaters are designed to regulate temperatures in gas lines in order to prevent condensation in the gas line.
Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), boron trichloride (BCl3), aluminum chloride (AlCl3), chlorine trifluoride (ClF3) and dichlorosilane (DCS) are gases that condense or liquefy due to a phase shift at low temperatures. In semiconductor processes, the condensation occurs in the gas line and puddles in the shower head before being injected into the vacuum chamber. A substantial number of wafer defects will occur if liquefied gases are injected into the vacuum chamber. Uniform heating of the lines with gas line heaters will prevent condensation. TEOS lines are typically heated above 194°F (90°C) and BCl3 above 86°F (30°C), depending on pressure and flow rate. The optimum line temperature will vary depending on the process parameters.
- Easy to install two part system which conveniently fits on most gas line configurations
- Flexible heater design gives engineers the flexibility to easily customize the thermal profile for each gas line application and allows quick prototyping to determine energy distribution requirements for process improvement
- Flexible standard system components eliminates unnecessary lead times for custom designs

QPAC
MODULAR SCR POWER CONTROLLER FOR CUSTOM TAILORING TO THE APPLICATION
The QPAC modular controller from Watlow is a modular silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller with plug-in features for flexibility. Bases are rated from 150 to 1000 amperes in one-phase, three-phase, two leg and three-phase, three leg configurations.
A variety of transformers from 120 to 575VAC, along with 50/60Hz operation, enable the QPAC modular controller to operate in applications anywhere. Plug-in control cards set the QPAC’s SCR firing modes: solid state contactor, burst firing (zero cross) or phase-angle models and are available with a wide variety of options. High speed fuses are included to protect the SCR modular controller from short circuit currents. 200KA short circuit current rating (SCCR) prevents arc flash.

SILICONE RUBBER HEATERS
IMPROVE HEAT TRANSFER, SPEED WARM UPS AND DECREASE WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS
Watlow silicone rubber heaters are rugged, yet thin, lightweight and flexible. Use of these heaters is limited only by the imagination. Heat can be put where it is needed. These silicone heaters improve heat transfer, speed warm ups, and decrease wattage requirements.
Fiberglass-reinforced silicone rubber gives the heater dimensional stability without sacrificing flexibility. Because very little material separates the element from the part, heat transfer is rapid and efficient. The silicone rubber heaters are constructed with a wire-wound element or an etched foil element. The heater construction creates a very thin heater allowing it to fit applications where space is limited.
- Designed to the exact shape and size needed which conforms to the component and/or equipment
- More than 80 designs available immediately from stock reduces downtime
- Constructed with wire-wound or etched foil elements provides the desired flexibility for many dynamic applications and delivers low mass and easily repeatable distributed watt densities
- Moisture and chemical-resistant silicone rubber material provides longer heater life
- Vulcanizing adhesives or fasteners allows heaters to be easily bonded to parts
