Pipe Insert Heaters offer you the advantages
of direct immersion heat, and the ability to
service the heater without draining the tank.
The Incoloy sheathed element inside the pipe
is carefully deigned for this application, and
transfers its heat to the inside pipe wall by
convection and radiation. The large surface
area of the pipe in contact with your liquid
greatly reduces the watt density (watts/in
2 ),
making the pipe insert heaters ideally suited
for heating:
• very viscous materials like Bunker C Fuel Oil,
• temperature sensitive materials like
glucose, liquid sugar
• bulk storage of corrosive material
SPA series pipe heaters come complete
with a mild steel pipe well
Low Liquid Protection
To prevent Low Liquid failure, one of multiple
heaters should have a built-in over heat
protection. This heater must be mounted
slightly higher than other heaters in the tank.
When a Low Liquid event happens the air
temperature inside the pipe rises dramatically.
Low Liquid Protection Options
1. Built in "K" thermocouple option,
series SPAK.
2. Built in mechanical high limit control,
series SPAHL. Typical temperature setting is
700°F (370°C). The standard control is a
DPST 25amp, 240 VAC. An optional 600 volt,
15 amp TPST control is available.
The built in high limit control has no
contact with the liquid you are heating
and cannot be used as a thermostat to
control your tank temperature.
