Mighty
Blade Process Heaters
The flat
shape of the Mighty-Blade
provides greater surface area inch for inch of length than
round elements. With the Mighty-Blade, equipment can he
designed with more wattage in less linear space than with
conventional elements. Or, by replacing an existing tubular
heater with a Mighty-Blade of the same length, the watt
density is significantly reduced. In immersion applications
the narrow profile increases natural convective flow of
materials being processed, resulting in lower sheath
temperatures and improved heat transfer to the process.
Materials being processed are less susceptible to
degradation. In processes where these considerations are not
as critical, watt densities can be reasonably increased. The
.275" x 1" dimension creates anti-corrosion, self-cleaning
effects that significantly extend the Mighty-Blade's useful
life by not allowing the collection of foreign materials on
the sheath. The multiple coil design permits an individual
element the flexibility to be wired at the installation in
single phase, three phase, three heat or dual voltage. The
Mighty-Blade can be used in virtually any immersion,
clamp-on, forced air or radiant heating application.
Pipe
Plug Immersion Heaters
Tubular
heaters or Mighty-Blade elements are brazed or welded in a
brass, steel or stainless steel pipe plug. Ratings from 350
watts to 38kw and numerous variations and options are
available. Pipe plug immersion heaters are generally used in
small to medium size containers at pressures up to 3000 psi
and are screwed directly through a threaded opening in the
tank wall.
