Choosing the right type of heater depends on the type of tank used and the content therein. The flanged heater is most suitable for chemical, petroleum, or water based applications in which the medium comes into a direct contact with the heating rod. The flanged heater solution is most appropriate for heating closed-loop pressurized vessels. It is therefore widely used in the oil sector. The flanged immersion heater varies widely in its size, power (kilowatts), thermal housing, and type of sheath material used.
The selection of sheath material depends on the application of the heaters. The application includes a wide range of heating solutions from simple water heating to most complicated oil viscosity solutions. For water and very mild solution, copper or stainless steel is an acceptable choice for the sheath material. Conversely, Incoloy® may be best suited for a highly corrosive situation or high viscosity solution. Steel is often used for oil reservoirs. For gas or steam, stainless steel is recommended for low temperature, but Incoloy® is necessary for high temperature.
The flanged heaters manufactured by WATTCO™ are available in all forms of sheath materials as noted here. What makes them the industry leader is not, however, just the sheath material they use in manufacturing the flanged heaters. WATTCO™ stands out in the superiority of their thermal housing as well.
NEMA 1 is a Standard Thermal Box that is used for most general purposes. NEMA 4 (4X) Water Proof Thermal Box is particularly designed to withstand 4 times the normal water resistance to guard against heavy rain. NEMA 7 Explosion Proof Thermal Box is designed to guard against various hazardous situations such as fire.
