SmartOne heaters utilize Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) semiconductors as the heating element. Unlike traditional heating elements, they are SELF-LIMITING. As PTC elements heat up, their resistance to electrical current increases. You may already be familiar with PTC technology as it is used in hair dryers, curling irons, and car seat heaters.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Increased Safety

   SmartOne heaters can only reach a set maximum sheath temperature which is below the  ignition point of most combustible materials (such as plastic tanks, see chart below).

   Unlike traditional immersion heaters with external thermal protectors, the safety of thermal protection is built intothe design of the PTC chips. Therefore, it is impossible to bypass thermal protection.

Longer Lasting

    SmartOne heaters are not affected by low solution level conditions, scaling solutions, or sludge buildup.

    Unlike traditional heaters, SmartOne heaters limit their heat output so they will not overheat or burn out.

Versatility

Three voltage ranges are available: 100-120 volts, 200-240 volts, and 380-480 volts.

 The need for derated heaters for viscous solutions is eliminated because SmartOne heaters internally regulate heat output to match the environment.

Available in 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel and titanium. Easy Installation & Maintenance

No external thermal protection device required.

No additional wiring needed for thermal protection devices.

No equipment downtime due to thermal protection maintenance.

Notes:

Temperaturecontrol is required to regulate process temperature.

Liquid level shut-off device recommended

As with any heater, periodic cleaning is recommended. Scale and sludge can increase the rate of chemical corrosion on the heater sheath.
