SINGLE-TUBE HEATERS FOR SPECIAL BATHS

Single-tube heaters are the most suitable type of electrical heating for a wide range of process fluids.

Excellent corrosion resistance is ensured by the use of various types of materials. The various mounting possibilities respond to the most different heating needs. The use of materials with a high quality standard is a guarantee of a long life and a high reliability of our products, which allow you to operate plants at a low rate of faults.

This kind of tubular heater has a modular structure and it consists of an outer tubular sheath (built from different types of materials), a "long-life" heating cartridge (inner thermal field), a terminal casing, a power cord (optional).

OUTER  TUBULAR SHEATH

We can offer you the most suitable materials for each application. The heating section has a permanent ring marking (minimum immersion length) and it is equal to about two-thirds of the normal length of the tube. The part of the pipe that stays above the marking is not heated. The heated part must always be immersed in the liquid even at a large variation of the liquid level.

"LONG-LIFE" HEATING CARTRIDGE

"Long-life" heating cartridges have grooved bodies made of a ceramic material with a high degree of electrical insulation and a good mechanical strength. Resistive coils are built with specific filaments withstanding high temperatures; the design parameters ensure an optimal flow of thermical energy to the fluid to be heated.

Heating cartridges are available in a wide range of supply voltages, up to a maximum of 500V (250V in the small version) with a single-phase or three-phase connection.

BC COVERS PROTECTION

The standard terminal block is made of polypropylene. Good mechanical, thermical and chemical resistance ensures their use with the majority of process liquids. At very high temperatures (more than 80°C) or with strong anti-oxidant substances (e.g. Electrolytes of chromium or HNO3) PVDF (BC/L) protection is recommended. The protection rating is IP65 (EN_60529).

Supply cable connection is also possible with the mounted protection, by removing the cover using the SB mouting key.

POWER CORD

Generally PVC power cord is 1,6m long. Cords of different lengths are available upon request. 

Single-tube heaters with ABS (Anti-Burn System) minimize possible thermical damages to the systems and tanks in case of complete or partial loss of the liquid to be heated. The normative EN_60519/1-2 specifies that the system electrically heated must be equipped by the user with a technology that allows safe use (protection against overheating and against dry operation).

However, even the best saftey technology cannot protect systems from errors made by operators or from incorrect maintenance.

The following "critical" situations in liquid solutions up to 100°C can be avoided by using an immersion safety heater with an anti-burn system:

• Operation of the heater also at a low level of liquid (due, for example, to the evaporation of the fluid);
• Operation of the heater also in absence of liquid (due, for example, to a sudden and unexpected loss of fluid);
• Operation of the heater when the heat transfer from the tube of the immersion heater to the fluid is reduced (due, for example, to high fouling on the immersion tube).

Angular tubular heaters are a form of direct electric heating that is the most suitable for all containers with a low or very variable level of fluid.

The heated horizontal outer tubular sheath allows heating from the bottom of the vessel and ensures an optimal flow of thermal energy to the fluid, as well as a good distribution of heat. Nominal power is determined decisevely by the length of the horizontal outer tubular sheath, since you can take advantage of the entire length for heating, a relatively high power is also possible. The unheated vertical outer sheath can be individually adapted to the depth of the vessel. These costum sizes virtually allow any adaptation to vessel geometry.

The structure reduces the footprint, thus making the design more effective and cheaper. Angular tubular heaters include the horizontal heated outer tubular sheath with a "long-life" heating cartridge, a vertical unheated outer tubular sheath, a terminal casing and a power cord. 

OUTER TUBULAR SHEATH

The horizontal outer tubular sheath is welded to the vertical one. The excellent resistance to corrosion is ensured by the use of different metallic materials of the sheath. The use of different sheath materials with a high quality standard is a guarantee for a long life and a good reliability of our products, which allows you to operate plants at a low rate of faults. To comply with the minimum distance from the bottom of the vessel or for fixing, the angular support feet are welded on the horizontal outer tubular sheath.
