Hot oil heating systems operate within a closed loop, with the heat transfer fluid recirculating through the heater elements. This method of heating makes circulation heaters extremely efficient and capable of accurate temperature maintenance. Electric circulation heaters use a simple design that results in longer lifespans and easy maintenance. As such, if there is a […]
Control panels are responsible for ensuring that industrial heating systems function properly, safely, and efficiently. They monitor temperatures, manage ideal heat transfer, and prevent overheating and chemical disintegration. Having the right controller not only keeps your processes running smoothly, but can even reduce operational costs. The importance of, and reliance on, controllers has made constant […]
A centuries-old industry, mining has come a long way in defining and improving process efficiency. Even still, operations require complex processes and heavy equipment. The mining industry relies on heat for various processes, including heating, cooling, and soaking ore. Early mining processes soaked ore in water and then heated it, generating a large amount of […]
Electric motors have many applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. To accomplish their intended functions, they require reliable control and protection. Motors face exposure to several hazards that can reduce their service life. As well as major electrical faults can damage them beyond repair. Motor Controls: Electrical hazards Well-designed motor control is complemented with […]
When an electric motor starts at full voltage, the inrush current can be up to 8 times higher than the nameplate value. Without a motor starter, the high inrush current and starting torque can cause damage over time. Many motor starting systems prevent this, including soft starters and variable frequency drives (VFD). While both devices […]
