In industrial environments where purity isn't just a preference - it's a requirement - the equipment you choose makes all the difference. Whether you are managing medical-grade air systems or processing sensitive liquids, contamination is the enemy.
The BCE Clean Flow™ Flange Style Heater is engineered specifically for these high-stakes applications. By combining robust industrial power with surgical-grade materials, this heater provides a reliable solution for companies needing consistent thermal performance without compromising the integrity of their process media.
Engineered for Purity: 304 and 316 Stainless Steel
When dealing with clean air or corrosive liquids, material choice is paramount. This unit features:
- 304 Stainless Steel Main Body: Offers excellent durability and resistance to atmospheric corrosion for long-term reliability.
- 316 Stainless Steel Heat Source: Stepping up to 316SS for the heat source ensures superior resistance to pitting and corrosion, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, food service, and chemical processing.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
This isn't just a standard heater; it's a high-output precision instrument. According to the technical specifications:
- Power Output: 50kW (+5 / -10%) 480 Volts, 3-Phase.
- Thermal Monitoring: Equipped with a 1/8" diameter, Type K grounded thermocouple compression assembly near the outlet for real-time accuracy.
- Safety Tested: Each assembly is ramped to 500°C in atmosphere and pressure tested to 90 PSI at the BCE facility prior to shipment.

CRITICAL OPERATIONAL NOTES
To ensure the longevity of your BCE heater and the safety of your facility, keep these operational requirements in mind:
- Insulation Check: Always ensure terminals have at least 2M - Ohm to the casing before energizing. If the unit falls below this, a "bake out" is required.
- No Dry Firing: DO NOT energize the unit without active flow. This heater is designed for moving media; stagnant air or liquid can lead to rapid overheating.
The BCE Advantage
From semiconductor manufacturing to specialty chemical heating, the Clean Flow series is designed for those who cannot afford a "good enough" approach to purity.
