Industrial Heater Elements

Types of industrial water immersion heaters

Although some industrial heater element options can be interchangeable, most of these products were designed specifically to address a particular residential or industry need. Take a brief moment to review some of the types of products WATTCO™ manufactures and how they are typically applied in commercial settings.

Industrial water immersion heaters come in a standard set of basic configurations:

Over the side – even heating of fluids or freeze protection
Flange – for boilers and fluid tanks
Pipe insert or bayonet – indirect heat to viscous materials such as those found in food manufacturing
Circulation/in-line – fast-acting, low-wattage applications such as engine preheating
Screw plug – fluids such as in rinse tanks, chemical baths and caustics
Booster – used in food service water supplies for sanitation purposes
Heating elements are also manufactured in a flat tubular configuration or a round tubular design.
