Section 2- Process Heaters

Immersion Heaters

Specification:- Removable ceramic core, or embedded rod types, with sheath materials in
copper, incoloy, mild steel, & stainless steel. Threaded fittings or bolt flanges in all standard
sizes and materials. Made with built in thermostats, thermocouples, RTD’s, cutouts, limiters,
& thermal fuses. Standard range up to180kW, - non standards made to order, with sizes,
materials, and loadings to suit the intended application. EEx rated versions available.

Application:- Installed in tanks and vessels for the direct heating of water, oils, solutions,
and most liquids.

In-Line & Outflow Heaters



Specification:- Constructed in mild steel, stainless steel, incoloy, & copper, to suit the
intended application. Available in steam, electric, or combination formats, with built in
thermostats, or on board control panels. Standard range up to 180 kW, - specials made
to order. EEx rated versions available.

Application :- Line heaters are used to heat liquids to their final operating temperature instantaneously as the liquid passes through the heater, as an ‘in-line’ part of a
manufacturing process, or as part of a recirculating heat transfer system.

Outflow heaters
are mounted directly to storage vessels at the draw off point, to heat liquid
s from storage temperature to discharge temperature on demand. Mainly used for high
viscosity liquids, such as heavy fuel oil.


Vat Heaters



Specification:- Embedded rod or vertical tube types, with sheath materials such as
porcelain, glass, quartz, graphite, lead, steel, stainless steel, incoloy, titanium, PTFE,
& pyrex. Loadings & dimensions as required, with unheated sections to cater for low liquid
levels. Thermostats & cutouts available in protective wells of materials listed above.

Application :- For use in “over the side” applications, heating chemicals, acids, alkalis, &
corrosive liquids, in electroplating, pickling, chemical cleaning, and metal surface treatment
processes.

Duct Heaters



Specification:- Assemblies of plain surface, or finned tubular elements, or finned ceramic
strip heaters. Available as complete duct sections, or as ‘stab-in’ type for insertion into a
duct opening. Can be grouped & wired as single or multi-stage units, and have
thermocouples or thermostats built in. Standard range up to 360kW,- special units designed
and manufactured to meet specific requirements.

Application :- Heating of air or non flammable gas as it passes through the duct. Used in
air conditioning, drying, cooking, and general process equipment.

Air Heaters



Specification:- A complete range of products designed to heat air to temperatures of up
to 870 deg.C., and inert gases up to 1245 deg.C., at pressures of up to 10 bar. With power
ratings from 1.5 to 144kW in very compact form, and housings of stainless steel, quartz &
ceramic, air volumes of up to 5000 LPM can be processed. A full range of matching controls
is available, as well as blowers, hoses, connectors, flares, valves, gauges, etc. Integrated
models combine heater, sensor, & controller in a single unit, for precise control, and long life.

Application :- Used for heating, drying, curing, soldering & desoldering, sealing, adhesive
activation, aseptic packaging, plastic forming & welding, sterilisation, etc., in many industries,
but especially in packaging, medical, printing, textiles, and pharmaceuticals.

Submersible Heaters



PTFE, teflon, or PTFE coated metal element assemblies designed for complete submersion
in water or chemical solutions. Ranging from 0.5kw to 15kw, with temperature sensors and
level controls to match. We also offer metal sheathed element assemblies for higher
temperature use in oils and solutions, and for “manhole entry” in to deep tanks and storage
bunkers, as well as portable heaters for occasional use in open topped vessels.
