CXE Electric Heaters
Catco CXE explosion-proof electric heaters utilize a high-quality immersion heater along with a high-performance fan and motor assembly. Liquid-to-air heat-exchanger cores use rugged carbon-steel tubes with copper-free, roll-formed aluminum fins to maximize heat transfer and carbon-steel headers for maximum durability and longer life.
How They Work
The Catco CXE is an explosion-proof electric heater. It utilizes a high-quality immersion heater along with a high-performance fan and motor assembly. A sturdy 14-gauge steel cabinet with epoxy/polyester powder-coating provides corrosion resistance.
Liquid-to-air heat-exchanger cores use rugged carbon-steel tubes with copper-free, roll-formed aluminum fins to maximize heat transfer and carbon-steel headers for maximum durability and longer life.
Units include a large control enclosure with an extra port for convenient wiring of an external room thermostat.
