Temperature Control And Heater Monitoring Systems

From mechanical thermostats to microprocessor based hardware, we let you balance control and monitoring needs with budget considerations for the ideal system. Proper control reduces maintenance and operating costs and allows for longer system life. You can even integrate Nelson into your plant's master control scheme for reduced monitoring costs and quicker problem resolution.

Methods of heater control:

• On/Off switch, turns the heater on in the winter and off in the spring - lowest installation cost, highest energy use.
• Ambient control, turns the heater on when the outside air temperature gets cold, multiple heaters grouped on a single control/contactor - moderate installation cost and energy savings.
• Pipe sensing control, turns the heater on only as needed to maintain pipe temperature - highest installation cost, greatest energy savings.

Special temperature controllers must be used when installed in hazardous locations (explosive gases or dust).
