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.
