Tube heater

for gasfor liquidsoil

Product overview
A through-flow electric heater effectively heats liquids, oils and gases in flow. IHP through-flow heaters feature robust, high-power designs that heat the medium to the required temperature directly at the outlet connection. Units can be configured with lower power when the medium is recirculated in a closed loop or where power demand is low (often referred to as circulation heaters in such cases).

Design and main components

• Custom design according to process requirements and customer specifications
• A complete unit includes tube, inlet, outlet, electric heating elements, flanges and connection boxes
• Optional integrated thermal insulation
• Optional built-in thermostats, temperature sensors, flow sensors, pressure sensors and overheating protection to meet operating requirements

Control and operation
The through-flow heater is normally controlled from a separate control cabinet or a control panel connected to a PLC. For simpler installations and lower power ratings, mechanical thermostat control is an alternative.

Services
IHP delivers through-flow heaters fully designed to process requirements and customer specifications, and provides support for control systems, installation and preventive maintenance.
