FPT has developed a solid 2-way relationship with Winkler, feeding back the market’s requirements, providing suggestions for product improvements, and also sharing successes – FPT will discuss your application in detail, help specify beneficial product variants, and also work with their other suppliers to provide a considered total solution.
In the world of low-concentration monitoring (ppb to ppm), emissions monitoring, and engine testing, it is vital to have reliable, continuous heating of sample lines and no cold spots where components can condense and escape measurement. Where poor heating, and bad connections with probes, analysers, or other lines risk invalidating expensive measurements, quite literally “cold spots cost”. By choosing Winkler lines, connections, and other heating solutions, you can put your mind at rest that you have given the best chance to succeed with your measurements.
Let’s start with a focus on the Winkler “Quick-Lock” system….
Connection system “Quick-Lock”
For quick assembly of heated lines. Used at dynamometer and engine test beds for carriage of measuring gas into the analysing room safe and conforming to standards.
- Rugged structure made of high-quality materials. The system is designed for sustained operating temperatures of up to 200°C.
- Seamless (conforming to standards) heating without cold spots between the wall bushing and the heated line and the heated line coupling
Products
Heated Analysis Lines
Utilised in analytical instrumentation, Heated Analysis Lines play a crucial role in monitoring air pollutants and conducting process analysis within industrial facilities. Their applications extend to engine test benches for combustion engine development, mandatory emission tests, and vehicle certification processes.
Heated Hoses
Heated Hoses find application in scenarios requiring the transportation of liquid, viscous, or molten substances while maintaining their temperature. These hoses are specifically crafted for use in bonding technology, filling and dosing systems, medical technology, the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, and extruder applications, as well as in research and development.
Heating Jackets
Heating Jackets find widespread use across various industrial sectors, research environments, laboratories, and experimental facilities, as well as in production processes. These jackets serve the purpose of heating diverse equipment, including columns, reactors, UHV facilities, valves, piping, flanges, containers, drums, and gas cylinders. Heat is introduced through a heat conductor, either crocheted into a carrier material or sewn on. Our heating jackets are constructed using materials such as glass fabric, glass yarn, or silicate yarn, with the heat conductor following a meander-type pattern during crocheting or sewing. To maintain thermal insulation at operating temperatures, an insulating layer is incorporated. A durable outer cover, tailored to the prevailing ambient and operating conditions, ensures mechanical protection.
Container Heaters
Drum and container heaters serve the purpose of warming liquids contained in drums, canisters, buckets, hobbocks, and IBC containers. The amount of heat introduced varies based on the specific application, aiming to maintain the contents at an ideal processing temperature. This process helps reduce viscosity for easy pumping and prevents crystallization. Gas bottle heaters, on the other hand, are designed to warm compressed gas cylinders. Their usage is crucial in preventing icing during high withdrawal rates, thereby mitigating adverse effects on the required gas flow.
