Chromalox, a specialist in advanced thermal technologies, has recently declared the availability of fully integrated control; monitoring and power distribution skids for heat trace control applications. The skid systems efficiently integrate heat trace control and monitoring with a power distribution panel, and a transformer on a rugged steel frame.
These skid systems are pre-wired, compact and provide site contractors with immediate plug and play heat trace control capability. Additionally, The companyâs ISC supervisory control software provides central control of all circuit parameters across multiple skid systems.
âPre-wired skid systems simplify the installation process for our customers. It reduces the risk of disrupting plant construction schedules when compared to the field wiring of multiple individual control components,â? states Scott Treser, Director of Controls and Panel Development for Chromalox. âThese systems can also be preprogrammed at the factory to further reduce start-up and heat trace system commissioning timeâ?, Treser added.
The skids feature either the Chromalox IntelliTrace or weatherTrace control panels and integrate them with transformers and circuit breaker distribution panels on a steel frame.
Available features include remote monitoring with Chromalox ISC supervisory software, ordinary and hazardous area design options, transformers from 15 KVA to 115KVA, and painted steel or stainless steel frames and enclosures.
