Our package includes design, manufacturing, factory assembly, on-site setup and startup. We also offer maintenance contracts and provide free phone support. Heaters have many components from a variety of manufacturers. It’s always best to mate these components with the heater and adjust them before the heater is shipped to you. This eliminates most compatibility problems. Our goal is that setup of our heater at your plant will be trouble free, without undue rework. Most setups should only require re-assembly of parts dismantled

for shipping, plus connection of electrical power and piping. Complete factory assembly eliminates last-minute fieldwork that can cause startup delays. It also eliminates buck passing if things don’t go right. Moreover, if a problem develops later, you won’t have to wrangle with a variety of component suppliers to fix it. So, when you buy a new heater, always choose a manufacturer that provides a complete package. Heatec has this capability, which sets us apart from others. Call today and let us answer any questions you have about our heater packages.

Commentary Get to Know ISO 50001

Master Energy Management ISO 50001 is a new, voluntary energy management standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides industrial facilities with an internationally recognized framework to manage and improve their energy performance. Currently, 33 U.S. facilities — including industry leaders 3M, Bridgestone Tire, Dow Chemical, Eaton and Schneider Electric — are implementing an energy management system that conforms with ISO 50001. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the standard addresses the following: • Energy use and consumption. • Measurement, documentation and reporting of energy use and consumption. • Design and procurement practices for energy-using equipment, systems and processes. • Development of an energy management plan and other factors affecting energy performance that can be monitored and influenced by the organization.

The DOE notes that ISO 50001 does not include prescriptive energy performance goals but instead serves as a framework a company can use to set and pursue its own goals for improving energy performance. The DOE plans webinars and a toolkit. It has already compiled testimonials from Owens Corning and others that describe the value for their facilities. Want to learn more? Visit the DOE’s frequently asked questions (FAQs) page at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/office_eere/faq.html. And, while you’re waiting to learn more about the standard and how to implement, you can use our product guide to find more efficient process equipment.

Ovens & Dryers Continuous Heating and Cooking System

Process Gels, Slurries and Solids

ImageWave uses single-mode high power microwave energy that feeds directly into the product and then reflects directly back with minimal wasted energy. Because of its design, the system achieves heat distribution and focus in a smaller footprint area than industrial microwave systems that use the multimode standard. The system’s DynoFlect instrument and control automatically tunes in real time to maintain set power delivery and system parameters. Ferrite Co. Inc. • (800) 854-1466 • www.ferriteinc.com

Solidaire dryers have high-speed, adjustable paddles that create an agitated, dense, thin layer of material against the jacketed vessel wall.

Three-Pass Heater Thermal fluid heater employs a fired burner and two helical coils, one inside the other, to provide up to twice the life of other three-pass heaters while providing the required amount of thermal input. Its lower flux rate means that its helical coils will be subjected to much lower thermal energy, especially radiant energy, than is usual in a three-pass heater. This also means that thermal fluid flowing inside the coils will have a much lower film temperature. To achieve the lower flux rate, the heater is somewhat larger than a three-pass heater with higher flux rates.

Systems, Components & Supplies Hot Water Pumps The company offers a range of hot water pumps for temperatures up to 530°F (277°C) and design pressures up to 1,160 psi. Due to high vapor pressures, standard mechanical seals can not be used for higher temperatures. The easiest solution is a cooled mechanical seal, but the required cooling water has additional cost. An alternative is a standard mechanical seal with a pumping devise and an external air cooler. The cooler is a recent development for this application, and it does not need cooling water. It is self venting. Dickow Pump Co. • Please see our ad on page 20 (800) 880-4442 • [email protected] • www.dickow.com

Got Maintenance? Plant operators are finding out the advantages of having their heaters serviced by Heatec on a regular basis. There are important benefits of having a contract for our service technicians to do preventative maintenance once or twice a year. An important benefit is safety. Our technicians make sure all limit devices are working properly. Insurance companies usually prefer that specialists, such as Heatec technicians, perform services related to safety. Fuel savings is another important benefit that results from maintenance that includes tuning the burner. Moreover, preventative maintenance usually eliminates unexpected heater

shutdowns at times that interrupt production. Preventative maintenance can usually be done without adversely affecting production schedules. Another benefit is usually a reduction in costs for each service call. This results from lower travel expenses when our technicians can make service calls at other plants in the same area. Moreover, many of our technicians reside in diverse locations that reduce travel to plant sites. Call today to find out what kind of service contract would work best for you.
