PRECISION HEAT DISPERSION: Semi-conductive carbon inks specially formulated to a specific heat output serve as the basis for heat generation. They are uniformly deposited on the flexible, high-strength substrate which forms the basis of the heating element, precluding the possibility of thermal variation.
DIRECT APPLICATION: The wide, thin, flat element is mounted securely to the vessel sidewall, providing the format for direct heat application. This avoids the need for heat to pass through air or other insulating mediums before reaching its intended destination and enables superior heat transfer efficiency not available elsewhere.
LOW WATT DENSITY: Typical applications employ elements having a heat output of only .30 watts per square inch (500 wattsper square meter.) Custom formulations are also available. This results in uniform heat distribution, makes “hot spots” impossible, and enables application of heat over a very large surface area which is most desirable with plastic tanks or sensitive chemicals, both of which may incur costly damage as a result of concentrated or focused heat.
DEPENDABLE TECHNOLOGY: CalorIQue’s Flexwatt heating element technology is proven in over 15 years of service. Continuous updating of the systems and materials has resulted in a problem-free, state-of-the-art product which minimizes energy consumption.
POSITIVE TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Adjustable state-of-the-art controllers incorporate internal logic, external readouts, and monitoring techniques assuring reliable, safe, operation within a narrow range of desired temperatures and limits. Precise electronic monitoring and over-temperature controls assure safe operation for the life of the system.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION: Thermolar systems arrive ready for installation, complete with pre-applied adhesive for affixing the elements to the vessel wall and strapping for control box mounting. Installation is typically accomplished in 75% less time than alternative systems, significantly reducing labor cost.
CUSTOMIZING: Thermolar’s unique parallel circuitry enables custom configuration in increments as small as 40 watts. Systems are tailored to the specific task at hand and avoid over-paying for unneeded pre-packaged systems of fixed wattage. Site-specific voltages of 120 Vac, 208 Vac, or 240 Vac are available for any quotation.
OPERATING CONTINUITY: In the event that the tank should become physically damaged after installation, the parallel circuitry and multi-panel configuration enables the THERMOLAR system to continue to operate uninterrupted providing no damage has occurred to the parallel bus bars.
FLEXIBILITY: CalorIQue’s THERMOLAR is lightweight and durable, making it uniquely well-suited to use in portable heated blankets. The system can be fabricated into an insulated blanket, ideal for outdoor or temporary storage conditions involving transportable containers such as 55 gallon drums or Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC’s.)
HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS: CalorIQue’s THERMOLAR HL systems are designed for and fully approved for use in Class I, Division II classified locations. Each of the THERMOLAR HL systems is custom designed for the specific application to provide a completely safe and secure system.
AGENCY APPROVALS: THERMOLAR systems meet or exceed all requirements of the National Electric Code and are constructed of UL listed components. THERMOLAR HL systems are ETL listed to IEEE 515 to meet the needs of hazardous location operation in Class I, Division II environments. Standard control boxes are NEMA 4X rated.
PREFERRED BY PROFESSIONALS: THERMOLAR tank temperature maintenance systems have been specified by OEM tank manufacturers, chemical providers and electrical engineering professionals for over 15 years. Re-orders by end-users having demanding temperature requirements are testimony to system reliability, longevity and superior RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
