The heater-insulator system can be used to warm IBC contents instead of wrap-around models. The heaters and insulators are designed for indoor, outdoor or washdown locations, offer ease of installation and universal fit, and are removable and reusable. 

B&W Thermal will supply and install replacement secondary air heater components for a U.S. power plant. The $5 million contract includes a suite of replacement parts, equipment and field service.

Custom Electric Manufacturing, which was acquired by Sweden-based Kanthal in 2018, will go to market under the Kanthal brand effective Jan. 1, 2021. Headquartered in Wixom, Mich., CEM has been supplying original equipment and replacement heating elements for both electric and gas furnaces for more than 35 years.

In the world of electric heaters, one of the most critical elements to consider is the control. Depending on the specific application, a certain level of control is not only desired but often required. In order to achieve adequate results, operators need to be confident that the process is reaching a specific temperature at the proper time on a consistent basis. 

By its most simple definition, process heating is the raising of the temperature of a part or substrate within a manufacturing process.

Industrial heating can be obtained through various technologies such as fuel, electricity and steam as well as hybrid technologies that combine two or more technologies. Fuel-based heating technology is the most common today due to the relatively low prices of fossil fuels.

Thermal liquid heating is a specialized form of process heating that harnesses the forced circulation of a special heating medium, called thermal fluid, as a liquid. In many types of process heating, high temperature rather than high pressure is essential where heat — not vapor or steam — is required. 

The inaugural Process Heating & Cooling Show will feature the latest industrial processes, products and emerging technologies across all process manufacturing industries. Held June 16-17 in Rosemont, Ill., this interactive two-day event is designed to inform and inspire everyone involved with process heating and process cooling systems.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the food industry — despite restaurants shifting to delivery- or takeout-only models – has not slowed down. Food production and supply are definitely essential services, and heat is mandatory for keeping food safe.

Pit furnace is designed with a maximum operating temperature of 1750°F (954°C) and gross workload of 1600 lb. Temperature uniformity of ± 25°F at 1650°F (899°C) was documented with a nine-point profile test.
