Heater Control Panels

Heater control panel basics.

Heater control panels are used to keep liquids from solidifying. The specifications for each heater control panel will vary depending on the temperature required to sustain the liquids in their state, the specific application requirements, and the devices it needs to control and connect to.

Heater control panels control a variety of devices in order to automate, control and protect the process, including pressure sensors, temperature sensors, level sensors. Pressure sensors keep the vessel containing the liquid from dropping in pressure; temperature sensors keep the liquid from overheating or freezing; level sensors ensure that the heaters remain immersed.

Common heater control panel uses.

Heater control panels allow the operator to meticulously control the temperature of the heater (or heaters) in a given system, while also controlling and monitoring the process throughout. Heater control panels are able to control either a single or multiple heaters, depending on what the application calls for. These panels can operate with a fixed or variable output, are generally wall-mounted, and most commonly call for a NEMA-1 or NEMA-4/4X control panel enclosure, depending on whether it is installed indoors or outdoors. Of course, other types of enclosures may be used. Don't know which type of NEMA-rated enclosure you'll need? Our knowledgeable sales team will be able to help!

The most common heater control panel applications include manufacturing, industrial food preparation and fabrication, and any industry that requires the mixing/combination of materials or careful temperature monitoring.
