Safe Circulation
Heater Ideal for
Contamination-Free
Gas and Liquid
Heating
The new CAST-X 500 from Watlow
®
is a small, lightweight
circulation heater ideal for heating gas or liquids in
demanding applications. Even in its compact size, the
CAST-X 500 is extremely powerful with operating
temperatures up to 350°F (177°C) and working fluid
pressure up to 3000psi. The CAST-X 500 heater is
available in a variety of wattages and can be shipped in
just a few days.
The CAST-X 500 heater is constructed of a helical coiled
tube cast into an aluminum body with a replaceable cartridge
heater installed in the center. The cartridge heater can be
replaced with various wattages to suit your equipment’s
changing requirements.
The aluminum body serves as the heat transfer media
between the cartridge heater and the coiled tube where
the fluid is being heated. The aluminum mass acts as a
“thermal flywheel” and ensures accurate temperature control
of the fluid to prevent degradation.
The unique, non-weld construction of the CAST-X 500 allows
it to be used where thermally sensitive materials are being
heated such as paints, resins and flammable materials.
The heater is suited for applications where fluid cleanliness
is critical, because the material being heated never comes in
contact with the heater. This is a performance requirement in
foodservice, semiconductor and analytical industries.
