Impedance heating is a clever approach to pipe heating. The pipe itself becomes the heater element rather than installing a heater into the pipe. The heating method achieves this by applying low voltage AC to the pipe with electricity. As the current moves through the piping, heat is created by the pipe materials’ resistance to […]
Electric immersion heaters provide a vital source of heating in industrial applications by quickly raising the temperature of the heating medium. Their robust, compact, and uncomplicated design makes them a method of choice whenever industrial heating requirements arise. Immersion heaters are efficient, economical in terms of initial investment and total cost of ownership. As well […]
Burners are immensely impactful equipment across multiple industries. They are used in the production, transport, and refinement of all sorts of products we use in our daily lives. They are especially valuable in the oil and gas industry, where they are involved in upstream, midstream, and downstream processes. One of their key functions is in […]
An ohmmeter is a device that measures electrical resistance. It may do so using a micro-ohmmeter for low resistance or a megohmmeter (or Megger) for greater resistances. By accurately measuring ohms, some common heating system issues can be identified. Ohms Ohms are the unit of measurement an ohmmeter uses. Named for German physicist Georg Ohm, […]
Cutting down on heating costs is one of the biggest and simplest ways to save on operational costs. Having efficient heaters and affordable heating costs directly impacts the profitability of your project. This article looks at the costs of gas versus electric heaters. As well as breaking down the factors that contribute to the overall […]
