Thick Film On Stainless Steel

 Watlow's new thick film heaters on 300 and 400 series stainless steel are ideal for use in many applications where fast response and uniformity are essential. This high-performance heater uses thick film technology to provide maximum temperature response in a compact package. Thick film on stainless steel provides a low-profile heater that has the ability to be laser cut or machined to fit any CAD-generated, two-dimensional shape. Due to the direct surface contact, these thick film heaters ensure greater heat transfer through thermally stable and inexpensive substrates.
Theheaters can be applied in areas where space is at a premium or where conventional heaters cannot be used because the voltage and wattage combination precludes using other types of resistive heaters. Because of the unique nature of thick film circuit, this heater can be designed to vary heat output across the entire surface. This feature will correct virtually any temperature uniformity problem that current designs may be generating.
Watlow'sthick film heaters are manufactured to meet the requirements of NEC codes. UL^® and CSA certifications are pending.

Thick Film Ceramic

 Watlow'snew thick film heaters are now available using an assortment of ceramic materials as the base substrate. This high performance heater uses thick film technology to provide maximum temperature response in a compact package. Ceramics provide low thermal expansion, a high temperature tolerance, a lower dielectric constant, rigidity and dimensional stability; making it a preferred substrate for many applications.

Thick Film Inline Quartz Heaters

 Watlow's new, ultra pure in-line thick film on quartz heaters are ideal for use in aggressive chemical applications. This high watt density heater uses thick film technology to provide maximum temperature response and heat output in a compact package.
Watlow'sthick film on quartz heaters deliver an ultra clean heating solution. This unique quartz resistive heater module design eliminates process contamination risk in the event of element failure. With the thick film method, heating elements are fused directly to the exterior surface of the quartz tubes. This provides efficient transfer of heat energy with rapid response to changes in flow and temperature.
Lifetesting has demonstrated significantly longer life than with infrared or other types of conductive heating technologies. The combination of high watt density and compact size makes Watlow's in-line thick film on quartz heaters perfect for continuous and intermittent flow aggressive chemical applications.
