Flanged Immersion Heaters
Tubular heaters or Mighty-Blade elements are brazed or welded into a standard pipe flange. 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″ and 14″ are standard sizes. Flanged immersion heaters are used in large capacity vessels, in high pressure applications and are installed by bolting the unit to a matching flange welded to the vessel wall. |
 150 Ib. ASA carbon steel flange from 3″ to 14″ sizes
.475″ diameter copper, steel, stainless steel, Incoloy tubular elements, or .275″ x 1″
 Incoloy Mighty-Blade elements
90, 45, 30, 22, 15, 13, 8 and 6.5 watts/square inch elements for various processes
General purpose, moisture or explosion resistant terminal enclosures
Thermowell for 3/8″ diameter thermostat bulb
Tubular element bends are repressed after forming to extend element life
Instruction Manual with wiring instructions included with each unit |
Applications
Copper Sheath: Clean Water, freeze protection, hot water storage, boiler and
water heaters, cooling towers, heating of solutions not corrosive to copper
Stainless Steel Sheath: Process water, soap and detergent solutions, soluble
cutting oils, demineralized or deionized water (passivation recommended)
Incoloy Sheath: Solution water, corrosive solutions, steam super heating, air or gas
Steel Sheath: Asphalt, wax, paraffin, tar, fluid heat transfer medium, petroleum,
degreasing and solvent oils, machine oil, fuel oils, alcohol |
Be certain that the sheath material and watt density selected are compatible with the material being heated and the operating temperature.
