Armstrong Chemtec impedance heaters marry electrical, heat transfer, and mechanical engineering concepts into a robust electric heater for difficult duties. By using the pressure containment vessel as the electric heating element, numerous thermal resistances are removed, allowing these heaters to reach higher temperatures than immersion heaters.
Armstrong Chemtec impedance heaters range in size from 10 kW to over 1 MW. These heaters have been used in a wide variety of difficult process applications, such as:
• Heating supercritical fluids, including water, ammonia and carbon dioxide
• Tubular reactors requiring heat input
