Temperature Control Unit | Water Circulating | Up To 250°F

Model SK-3480-T

This model has been placed in Legacy Status and is no longer in production. The equivalent model is the SRT-3480.

Product Overview

Water temperature control units are engineered to provide precise fluid temperature control over a wide range of applications.
These units are used to preheat industrial processes to the desired operating temperature by recirculating water through the process and engaging the unit’s electric immersion heater.
After reaching the operating temperature, the unit can continue to add heat or become a cooling device by precisely exchanging & mixing cooling water (supplied from an external source) with the recirculated water to maintain tight temperature control.
This temperature control unit requires a plant water supply source.
Temperature control units are portable, built on casters to easily move the unit between processes.
Temperature can for these units is 32°F to 300°F.

Specifications

Specification Notes:

Since product innovation and improvement is our constant goal, all features and specifications are subject to change without notice or liability. Selection of certain optional features may change listed specifications.
Derate heater output by 25% for 208/3/60 operation.
Full load amps are higher than run load amps and must be used for sizing disconnects and supply wiring. Not for construction. Consult factory for power requirements of unit as configured and on selected options.
The Sentra cannot achieve temperatures below the cooling water supply temperature and will provide warmer water to process compared to the cooling water temperature even with the cooling valve fully open. Consult Factory for more information.
Consult factory for 50HZ operation.
Unit weight crated for shipment.
