Type NWHMTO Circulation Heater (for Regular and
Fuel Oil Heating)
WARNING: This heater is not intended for use in haz-
ardous atmospheres where flammable vapors, gases,
liquids, or other combustible atmospheres are present
as defined in the National Electrical Code. Failure to
comply can result in explosion or fire.
Hazardous area terminal enclosures are available, consult your
local Chromalox representative for details.
The NWHMTO series is a general-purpose oil circulation heater
intended for use indoors.
The 3 steel sheathed tubular elements are centered in a 2-1/2” diam-
eter steel heating chamber and welded to a removable screw plug. The
assembly is surrounded by 1-1/2” insulation and sheet metal jacket.
Depending upon the specifications, the NWHMTO may or may not
be factory equipped with AR or other Chromalox thermostats. Such
thermostats function to control outlet temperatures and limits internal
temperatures under abnormal flow conditions. These controls do not
fail-safe.
CAUTION: Users should install adequate back-up con-
trols and safety devices with their electric heating
equipment. Where the consequences of failure may be
severe, back-up controls are essential. Although the
safety of installation is the responsibility of the user,
Chromalox will be glad to make equipment recom-
mendations.
WARNING: Hazard of Shock. Disconnect all power
before installing heater.
1. Vertical mounting (axis of chamber vertical as in sketch above) is
preferred. (Terminal housing at top of heater)
2. When mounting heater horizontally, inlet and outlet MUST be up.
In any other position, heater cannot be purged of air and elements
may be seriously damaged. (See Figure B below)
3. The NWHMTO series of circulation heaters are provided with
mounting lugs to support the heater chamber. Refer to sketch
above for location of these mounting lugs.
4. Mount heaters to permit unrestrained expansion of chamber due to
temperature. This can be accomplished by using a slotted mount-
ing assembly on either of the lugs.
5. DANGER: Hazard of Fire. Provide minimum of 6” spacing
from a chamber and related piping to nearest combustible materi-
al. Avoid operation of heater near combustible fluids or in com-
bustible vapor or gas laden atmosphere.
6. Provide adequate space at terminal end to permit withdrawal of the
heater from chamber should servicing be required.
7. If two or more heaters are needed to provide the needed heating
capacity, arrange them for series oil flow.
8. DANGER: Possible Explosion. A pressure relief valve
should be provided by customer at outlet of vessel. There should
be no other valving between vessel and valve.
