Tubular
heaters or Mighty-Blade elements are brazed or welded in a brass, steel or
stainless steel pipe plug. Ratings from 350 watts to 38kw and numerous
variations and options are available. Pipe plug immersion heaters are generally
used in small to medium size containers at pressures up to 3000 psi and are
screwed directly through a threaded opening in the tank wall.
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.
Used
in tanks where through-the-wall heaters cannot be installed, portability is
required, or where heaters must be removed for cleaning without emptying the
tank. Suitable for freeze protection, for heating viscous materials to improve
flow, or most open tank applications with proper sheath and watt density
selection.
