Fluid properties, fouling, heat transfer rate, etc. complicate the normally straightforward process of electric heating. Armstrong Chemtec brings over 75 years of process heat transfer experience to electric immersion heater design. This robust design optimizes performance and element life in high heat transfer rate applications. Finned elements may be used for viscous fluids to enhance heat transfer.
Features Include:
• Significant standoff between the terminal box and tubesheet, allowing for low temperature wiring in the terminal box and preventing process leakage into the terminal box
• Thermocouples welded to element sheaths, assuring accurate element temperature monitoring
• Element moisture seal, offering protection against equipment failure and startup delays
• TIG tubesheet joints preventing process fluid leakage
• Large terminal box, providing easy access for installation and maintenance
• Duplex thermocouples (optional), allowing for redundancy or spares provision
