You know the feeling. A heater that used to hit temperature in no time starts dragging, or it trips for no obvious reason, or you pull it and find the element looking rough. The upside, such as it is, is that immersion heaters rarely quit without any warning at all. They tend to warn you […]
How many kilowatts does this process actually need? It’s one of the first questions an engineer asks, and it’s rarely as simple as the tank size or the target temperature makes it sound. A system can demand a hefty slug of power to climb up to operating temperature and then need surprisingly little to stay […]
You already know the process needs heat. That part’s obvious. But the moment you fire off a quote request, it turns into a back-and-forth, what fluid, what temperature, what voltage, how big is the tank, what controls, and the quote you wanted last week is suddenly days away. I’ve watched this happen more times than […]
Specifying a heater for an ordinary process is one thing. Specifying one for an area where flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dust might be floating around is a different game entirely, and it catches plenty of good engineers out. The heater itself is only half the job. The rest is showing that the equipment meets […]
Looking for an in-depth comparison between over-the-side heaters and immersion heaters? Here we’ll explain the key differences between the two and when each is best suited for different applications. Over-the-side immersion heaters Over-the-side heaters are just one example of immersion heaters. Look at immersion heaters as an umbrella term for all types of heaters immersed […]
