The average temperature at Dyna-Tech’s headquarters (Branchburg NJ) on Christmas Eve was just under a brisk 10°F, which is caliber of cold that’ll keep your cooling tower basin heaters humming. But how can you be confident that your basin heaters are running as safely and efficiently as possible? It a great question that deserves a great answer: Marley’s Advanced Basin Heater System.
With upgraded components for circuit protection, personal safety, setpoint adjustability, optional temperature feedback, digital control interface and push-button testing, Marley’s Advanced Basin Heater (ABH) Control Panel is the solution you’ve been looking for. This system provides owners with the control, real-time monitoring and flexibility that basic basin heater systems have been lacking – until now.
Key benefits of the ABH System:

- Adjustable setpoints via digital controller enable automatic control between system shutdowns and waterside economizing applications
- Optional 4-20mA basin temperature feedback module for remote monitoring at BMS
- NEMA 4X fiberglass outdoor enclosure
- Lockable disconnect on all panels
- A thermal magnetic circuit breaker disconnect is standard – providing electrical protection for the control panel and power wiring.
- The heater element push-to-test circuit provides the operator with an easy means to test heater functionality during summer months in preparation for cold weather.
- Marley PT-100 temperature RTD is industrial-rated, providing accurate measurements with the ability to extend wiring long distances.
- Built-in low water cutout circuit ensures the high-density heater element is covered with water before being energized, protecting the heater from burn-out.
- Output status contacts for BMS communication module determines contactor closure and heater element functionality.
