Hatco C-12 Description
To properly sanitize and flash-dry dishes, the Hatco C-12 compact booster heater raises the temperature of rinse water in warewashers to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The tank has a 6-gallon storage capacity and Castone® lining that prevents corrosion. Heat is trapped inside the tank with fiberglass insulation, and when heating water, a pilot indicator light alerts employees. If hot water is not needed, the heater can be quickly turned off with an on/off switch to save energy.
If the temperature or pressure is too high in the tank, the relief valve lowers it by releasing water. A pressure-reducing valve regulates and stabilizes the flow pressure, and when water levels are too low, the low-water cut-off feature prevents burnout by shutting off power to the elements. Made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the front panel on this Hatco C-12 compact booster heater swings out for convenient access to components.
