Tubular Immersion Heater

SCREW PLUG TYPE

Screw plug heaters are used for heating liquids and gases in a variety of processes. Basically hairpin bend tubular elements are welded or brazed into a screw plug. Terminals and electrical connectors are provided in a box. Heaters with built-in thermostat have a thermowell i.e. a hollow tube sealed at one end which is welded or brazed to the screw plug. A temperature sensing thermostat bulb can be inserted in the tube without the necessity of draining liquid.

 

Application

Sheath materials used for heating various liquids and solutions are copper,
stainless steel, steel and Incoloy.
