Heater Control Panel features
This Heater control panel example is an upgraded version of our customer’s previous standard panel. It’s primary function is to allow an operator to adjust a temperature setpoint and control a diesel fired burner to maintain the temperature setpoint in the trailer’s process chamber.
We redesigned this panel to allow an operator to 1) enable or disable the burner with a switch, 2) turn on or off two 12V user power outs with a switch, 3) see the temperature setpoint and process chamber temperature, 4) see the trailer battery voltage, heater run time hours, and any alarms.
Engineering Submittal Package
We produce an engineering submittal package for every control panel we’re planning to produce. We submit to our customer for review and approval prior to releasing it to production. This allows everyone to review what we’re planning to produce and confirm that it’s correct. Each includes the following sections.
- Section A. Datasheets for Enclosures and Accessories
- Section B. Datasheets for Power and Control Devices
- Section C. Datasheets for Field Mounted Devices
- Section D. Drawings
- Section E. Bill of Material
