Hot oil control system is key to maintaining product temperature

The Challenge

A manufacturer of specialty automotive fluids and lubricants located in the southeastern U.S. was in the process of transferring an existing production line to another facility. The new facility, however, did not have the capacity on its existing hot oil system to feed the additional line. Adding capacity and running new piping would have been a major expense. The transferred line was to be run as a stand-alone system, and required a seal-less pump to maintain the high temperatures and pressure.

Biofuels manufacturer turns to heat tracing to protect its investment

The Challenge

A biofuels plant conversion in Pennsylvania historically used steam tracing for freeze protection throughout a significant portion of the plant. However, due to the temperature sensitivity of the biofuels in the process lines, the company decided to investigate several tracing options that could provide precise and fast-responding temperature control for those lines. Consequently, the company decided to implement a new heat trace system to effectively protect its investment in the renewable energy future.

Kapton® heating technology reduces energy consumption

The Challenge

Chromalox believes in the application of our heating technology to conserve the earth’s precious environment and natural resources. A big part of this initiative is to employ low energy consumption as required by green initiatives. To that end, an OEM manufacturer of water heaters needed an entirely new approach to achieve on-demand hot water for consumer use without the need for gallons of hot water on standby.

Self-regulating heating cable prevents solidification of corrosive solution in plastic tanks

The Challenge

On tanks intended for outdoor installations, the original equipment manufacturer is often requested to install heating equipment. End user customers require heated fiberglass storage tanks to prevent solidification of stored chemicals due to freezing end/or to limit temperature  related viscosity to facilitate pumping. They need an inexpensive I sine means of evenly heating a tank to 60° F, for example, on a continuous basis.

The problem lies in the fact that at temperatures above 190° F, the fiberglass tank experiences damage. This is most likely to occur at the point of contact where the heater is mounted to tank wall.

Heat trace cable provides freeze protection for new flexible augers

A manufacturer of wastewater/storm water processing equipment developed a new flexible auger system to transfer solids from wastewater. The new system helped to automate what had been a labor-intensive procedure. But the flexible auger was sometimes housed in unheated buildings in cold climates where freezing is an issue, especially since the equipment is used intermittently. Without freeze protection, the system could potentially have problems on start-up.  Systems range between six and thiry feet.
