Watlow FIREBAR® Heaters from Flow Factor

FIREBAR® Single/Double-Ended Heaters by Watlow


Get a Quote HERE!













Watlow FIREBAR heating elements provide added heating performance over standard round tubular heating elements—especially for immersion applications in petroleum-based liquids requiring high kilowatts. 
The FIREBAR's unique flat surface geometry packs more power in shorter elements and assemblies, along with a host of other performance improvements. These include:

-Minimizing coking and fluid degrading

-Enhancing the flow of fluid past the element's surface to carry heat from the sheath

-Improving heat transfer with a significantly larger boundary layer allowing much more liquid     to flow up and across the sheath's surface

Watlow FIREBAR elements are available in single- and double-ended constructions with one inch or 5⁄8 inch heights. These two configuration variables make it possible to use FIREBAR elements instead of round tubular elements in virtually all applications.

70 percent greater surface area per linear inch compared to a 0.430 in. (11 mm) diameter round tubular heater

Compacted MgO insulation maximizes thermal conductivity and dielectric strength

Precision wound nickel-chromium resistance wires

0.040 in. (1 mm) thick MgO walls transfer heat more efficiently

Three resistance coil design readily adapts to a variety of electrical sources and wattages outputs

Aircraft Fire Trainer with co-ax valves

Flow Factor and  co-ax® valves application


Get a quote for co-ax®
 HERE!

Aircraft Fire Trainer

Aircraft Fire Trainer are designed to recreate a series of different emergency scenarios, including interior and exterior incident fires and large-scale fuel spill fires on airplanes, all managed by an adjacent control tower and PC control station. Inside, a series of fires can be accessed by a series of doors on multiple levels, helping to develop realistic rescue scenarios.
Aircraft Fire Trainers are fully programmable, and automatically respond to the application of extinguishing media, for a realistic fire response.
Fire simulations utilize clean burning propane. Alternately, "dual-fueled" fire simulations are available that burn either kerosene for maximum realism or propane for environmental compliance.






Summary
co-ax® valves are used to release propane or liquid fuel to the plane mock-up shown in the picture. The fuel is ignited and the fire is extinguished by fire fighting trainees. They use water to extinguish the flames. Water also keeps the mock-up from distorting. The co-ax® valves are submerged under the gravel and water in the bottom of the pool.

Why are co-ax® valves the preferred choice?

  • Positive shut-off.
  • Fast open/closing speed  < 100 milliseconds required.
  • Compact size.
  • Valves (externally controlled) can be buried in a pit.

Typical co-ax® valves being used in this application

  • VMK 20 NC
  • VFK 25 NC
  • MK 10 NC 1E

co-ax® valves for polyol applications

co-ax® valves from Flow Factor

co-ax® valves for polyol applications


co-ax® valves being used in this application

  • PCS-1 10, PCS-1 15, PCS-2 10, PCS-2 15, PCS-3 15, PCB-1 10, PCD-1 10 - cartridge valves, externally controlled KB 15 direct acting valves
  • VMK-H 15, VMK-H 15 DR, VMK-H 20, VMK-H 25, VSV-M 50


co-ax® valves are used to inject polyol, which then blends together with isocyanates to create a chemical compound called polyurethanes.
The mixture of the chemicals form molds for many different applications, which are used to create mattresses, foam insulation for refrigerators and freezers, home and automotive seats, elastomeric shoe soles, fibers (e.g. Spandex), and adhesives.
Isocyanates, when exposed to air, tend to form crystals that generate premature wear in valves, especially those containing abrasive fillers and they are equally destructive to the seals and seat.
Multiple co-ax® valves have been designed and sold for polyol applications. The fast actuation speeds of the co-ax® valve combined with high cycle life and virtually no maintenance are key advantages for this application.











Why are co-ax® valves the preferred choice?

  • Fast actuation
  • Engineered for long life (high cycle life)
  • Pressure balanced design
