48D513 - Bio-Circle Replacement Heater 120V

Technical Overview of the Walter 48D513 Heater

The Walter Surface Technologies 48D513 is a specialized 120V heating element designed exclusively for the Bio-Circle line of industrial parts washers. In bioremediation systems, maintaining a specific fluid temperature is critical; the Bio-Circle liquid contains natural microorganisms that degrade oils and greases, and these organisms thrive at approximately 41°C (106°F). This heater ensures that the cleaning solution remains at this optimal operating temperature, facilitating the continuous biological breakdown of contaminants.

Engineered for durability and compatibility, this component serves as a direct replacement for the original heating unit found in Bio-Circle Compact and Bio-Circle L systems. It connects directly to the machine's 120V power circuit and is regulated by the system's internal thermostat controls. Failure of the heating element can lead to a drop in fluid temperature, which significantly inhibits the metabolic activity of the bioremediation agents, resulting in reduced cleaning power and potential fluid spoilage. Installing the 48D513 restores the system's thermal regulation capabilities.

The unit is constructed to withstand the specific chemical environment of the Bio-Circle fluids, resisting corrosion and scaling that can affect generic immersion heaters. For maintenance teams and industrial technicians, this OEM part guarantees fitment and performance specifications are met without modification.
