Industry leaders like Watlow are solving the world ’ s most challenging and essential thermal problems . Its work includes breaking down the barriers to energy transition to provide clean , efficient and reliable ways to electrify processes traditionally heated with fossil fuels . This includes Watlow ’ s POWERSAFE™ solution — a medium voltage heating solution that combines both an electric heat exchanger and a control system . The system has been proven to operate safely and reliably at 4160V and higher . It also offers a flexible combination of a siliconcontrolled rectifier and contactor circuits up to 25 megawatts within a single control package , delivering high-efficiency power to reduce the size and weight of the solution , while providing a clean , safe asset for
engineers tasked with decarbonizing thermal systems .
Gaining familiarity with electric process heating systems now will reduce the burden of energy transition later . Engineers are realizing two things . First , there are far more opportunities to use electric process heating systems with far fewer size constraints than energy and environmental engineers previously imagined . Second , control of these megawatt size heating systems is demonstrated in field applications , with precise control of process and skin temperatures . But , by working with a reliable partner to electrify process heating systems is one of the surest ways to progress toward climate action goals without interrupting productivity or profitability .
