Flexible Tank (FXTH) Heaters

Immersion Heater And Circulation Heaters - Flexible Tank (FXTH) Heaters

Chromalox® FXTH heaters provide low-watt-density heating for viscous materials such as asphalt, fuel oil, pitch and tar, liquid sugar, molasses, lube oils, linseed oil, and other heat-sensitive materials.

Flexible Tank (FXTH) Heaters

Chromalox® FXTH heaters provide low-watt-density heating for viscous materials such as asphalt, fuel oil, pitch and tar, liquid sugar, molasses, lube oils, linseed oil, and other heat-sensitive materials. These heaters are particularly useful for storage tanks that are underground or when the tank ends are inaccessible for installation of more conventional heaters. They can be installed through the normal manhole opening of many large tanks above or below ground without requiring modification to the tank itself. Chromalox® FXTH heaters can be used in steel, concrete, and fiberglass tanks or in open-top process tanks. The basic heater assembly consists of carbon steel flexible pipe, terminal enclosure, 14-foot (4.28-meter) risers, two lifting cables, and 4-inch (102-millimeter) high sludge legs. Stainless steel is also available. Heat is evenly spread along the bottom of the tank. Its low profile provides maximum use of the tank volume and maintains heat even at low levels. High wattage at low watt density provides plenty of capacity without overheating the material.

Applications:

• Asphalt tanks (underground and above ground)
• Fuel oil tanks (underground and above ground)
• Pitch and tar tanks
• Liquid sugar and molasses tanks
• Mineral oil tanks (underground and above ground)
• Linseed oil tanks
• Other viscous material tanks (underground and above ground)
