In the past, thermal systems always had trade-offs that often made the ‘ideal’ system out of reach.

Industrial organisations can push decarbonisation forward by shifting process heater systems from fossil fuel-burning to electric.

Power conversion is familiar in most consumer and industrial technologies, which typically use AC adapters to convert to DC and supply the required voltage.

Watlow, a designer and manufacturer of complete industrial thermal systems, has completed its acquisition of Eurotherm from Schneider Electric. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Healthcare organisations are increasingly moving patients to home care settings to reduce the pressure on traditional healthcare facilities, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic.

From motion sensors that aid safe parking, to pressure sensors that measure air flow in air conditioning units, many applications used in our daily lives are guided by sensing technology.

As computational technology advances, the role of the ever-dependable Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller has come into question.

While investment in clean energy plays a huge part in achieving global climate goals, it must coincide with the further electrification of industrial processes. Even in the oil and gas industry, there is significant room for the decarbonisation of processes, particularly in thermal applications. Innovative technologies have solved many of the challenges that previously hindered the implementation of electric process heating, making it an obvious ...

There are around 10,000 different medical devices on the market today. Each individual piece of equipment must be manufactured to the highest standards to ensure accurate, efficient and safe results. Here, Andy Selvy, Chief System Designer at industrial technology company Watlow, discusses medical device trends and how heating technology plays a vital role in the function of medical equipment.

Advanced ceramic heaters offer numerous benefits in the design of analytical equipment. Many of the heaters used in industry today are metal sheathed, a long-standing technology that has been available for over 30 years.

Industrial temperature controller manufacturer Watlow has released its LEGACY SERIES panel-mount (PM) temperature controllers, which are designed to optimise performance using a simple control and menu functionality. The range includes the industry first 1/32 DIN controller, which incorporates Bluetooth technology to enable EZ-LINK, Watlow’s mobile application for setting up, monitoring and adjusting its temperature controllers.

Companies in the oil and gas industry are taking bold steps to reduce their carbon footprint. The overall strategy to tackle carbon emissions relies not only on alternative energy investment and increased efficiency, but also converting key industrial processes to electric. Here Volker Metzger, Applied Thermal Expert for Europe at industrial heating technology manufacturer Watlow, has explored the role of electric process heaters in dec...
