Common Uses & Applications
Flanged immersion heaters are ideal for any application that requires direct heating of chemicals, petroleum-based mediums, water-based mediums, and gasses.
- Water: Immersion heaters provide freeze protection or can be used for hot water storage in boilers, steam boilers, and water heaters. They can also be used for cooling towers with demineralized or deionized water.
- Oil: Flanged heaters can help maintain the proper viscosity of light and medium oils and heavy or stagnant oils.
- Hazardous Chemicals: Flanged heaters provide the specific temperature range needed to keep mild and severely corrosive chemicals viable and safe.
- Gasses: Flanged heaters can help keep stored gasses at a desired pressure.
- Additional Materials & Liquids: Flanged immersion heaters can heat soap, detergent solutions, and food equipment.
