MWS Series Water & Water/Glycol System

Installation Instructions

General Information

The Chromalox Heat Transfer Unit is a thoroughly engi-

neered, pretested package, designed to give years of 

service, virtually maintenance free if properly installed. 

The MWS series can operate up to 300˚F (149˚C) (de-

pending upon heat transfer fluid properties and unit 

configuration) with features that comply with the Na-

tional Electrical Code. 
Common to all models: electronic process controller, 

air-cooled mechanical seal, chamber insulation, dis-

charge pressure gauge, steel heater sheath, cast iron, 

centrifugal pump; power requirements 240 to 600 volts, 

3 phase, 60 cycles, 50 thru 600kW.

In hazardous areas, pipe surfaces could 

achieve temperatures high enough to cause 

auto-ignition of the hazardous material pres-

ent. Consult Article 500 of the National Elec-

tric Code for further information on the maxi-

mum allowable temperature for a specific 

application.
