Over-the-Side Immersion Heaters
Over-the-Side Immersion Heaters are designed for installing in the top of a tank with the heated portion directly immersed along the side or at the bottom. This provides easy removal of the heater and ample working space inside the tank. These heaters are available with heating elements made of Copper, Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, INCOLOY ® , Titanium, Teflon ® and Quartz. A wide selection of kW ratings, shapes and mounting methods are available to suit many different types of applications.
Applications
The large variation in heating element material and shapes of over-the-side immersion heaters offers a wide selection in the application of these units. Water, oils, solvents, plating baths, salts and acids are some of the many liquids and viscous materials commonly heated with immersion heaters. Over-the-side types permit portability, easy removal for cleaning of tanks and heaters and ample working area within the tank when installed.
Important — When selecting a tank heater design, the user should make sure the sheath material is suitable for the solution being heated at the maximum temperature expected, with proper safety factor.
