2.10.14 Chromalox Announces Explosion-Proof Certification and Design Patent for Tank Flanged Immersion Heaters
Chromalox, a leading manufacturer of electric heat and control products, today announced significant advances for its large and small tank flanged immersion heaters. The CSA Group (CSA) has certified the use of Chromalox small tank flanged heaters (STFX) as explosion proof in hazardous areas, the same certification as for its large tank flanged heaters. This means that both types are approved as explosion proof under applicable standards such as those of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), ATEX, CSA, NSF International, and other North American and global organizations...continue reading
1.27.14 Chromalox Unveils Heat Trace Control Panels for Hazardous Class 1 Division 2 Locations
Structurally, the new panels differ in the size and rating of the display – a human machine interface (HMI) in the form of a color touch screen. Additionally, the enclosure dimensions and the internal distribution of heating circuits have changed. Treser points out that the 12-inch color touch screen display provides Chromalox customers with features that are unique. "This interface allows for easier trouble-shooting, since it simultaneously displays the alarm status, set points, and process temperatures for six control loops, as well as their circuit IDs, manual/auto override controls, and heating circuit current loads. Users can quickly navigate to any six-loop circuit grouping...continue reading
