Over-the-side immersion heaters are designed for installing in the top of a tank with the heated portion directly immersed along the side or at the bottom. This provides easy removal of the heater and ample working space inside the tank.
Over the side immersion heaters are specifically designed such that they can be installed in the upper portion of tanks. The substance to be heated is either below the industrial tank heater or onto one side, hence the name. The main advantages of this approach are that ample space is left in the tank for other operations to take place and the heater can easily be removed when the required temperature is achieved within the substance. The heating element of an over the side process heater is usually made from steel, copper, cast alloy and titanium. A coating of fluoropolymer or quartz can be provided for protection.
Over-the-side immersion heaters are designed for installation in the top of the tank with the heated portion directly immersed along the side or at the bottom. They take up little space, eliminate the need for tank penetrations, are easily removed for service, and provide ample working space inside the tank. Custom configured elements evenly distribute heat by direct contact in numerous applications, including acid and alkali solutions.
Over-the-side heaters are ideal for heating water, oils, solvents, salts and acids. Over-the-side heater application versatility is enhanced with optional sheath materials, kilowatt ratings, terminal enclosures and mounting methods.
