Circulation Heaters

Vessel material is SA53B or SA106B steel. Good for up to 750°F (399°C) operating temperature. Optional Heating source—1-1/4″ and 2-1/2″ Screw Plug Heaters are used on smaller units. 3″ to 14″ size heaters use Flanged Immersion Heaters. The flanges are made from forged steel rated for 150 lbs with raised face. Optional stainless steel flanges or 300 lb ratings are available. Various element sheath materials are available for maximum corrosion resistance to the medium being processed. On smaller circulation units with screw plug heaters, the element diameter is .315″ or .475″. On larger units with flanged heaters, the element diameter is .475″.

Sheath Materials

📦

Incoloy 840

Nickel 18-20%, Chromium 18-22%, Iron balance. Has about 10% less nickel than Incoloy 800. Used in many air heating applications, where it has exhibited superior oxidation resistance at less cost than Incoloy 800.

📦

Incoloy 800

Nickel 30-35%, Chromium 19-23%, Iron balance. The high nickel content of this alloy contributes to its resistance to scaling and corrosion. Used in air heating and immersion heating of potable water and other liquids.

📦

316/316L Stainless Steel

Chromium 16-18%, Nickel 11-14%, Iron balance. (316L – Low Carbon) Modified with the addition of Molybdenum (2-3%) to improve corrosion resistance in certain environments, especially those which would tend to cause pitting due to the presence of chlorides. Applications include deionized water. Maximum Sheath Temperature: 1200°F / 649°C

📦

304/304L Stainless Steel

Chromium 18-20%, Nickel 8-11%, Iron balance. (304L – Low Carbon) Used in the food industry, medical, and chemical heating. Maximum Sheath Temperature: 1200°F (649°C)

📦

321 Stainless Steel

Chromium 17-20%, Nickel 9-13%, Iron balance. Modified with the addition of Titanium to prevent carbide precipitation and resulting intergranular corrosion that can take place in certain mediums when operating in the 800-1200°F (427-649°C) temperature range.

📦

Copper

Standard Copper Alloy A low temperature, inexpensive material used mainly for clean water heating. Maximum Sheath Temperature: 350°F / 177°C

📦

Incoloy 825

Nickel 38-46%, Chromium 19.5-23.5%, Molybdenum 2.5-3.5%, Iron balance Available for a limited number of diameters. Consult Tempco for more information.

Flange Materials

📦

Incoloy 800 Flange

A Nickel (30-35%), Chromium (19-23%), Iron alloy. The high nickel content of this alloy contributes to its resistance to scaling and corrosion. Used in air heating (also see Incoloy® 840) and immersion heating of potable water and other liquids that are not corrosive to an Incoloy® 800 sheath.

304 SS Flange

A Chromium (18-20%), Nickel (8-11%), Iron Alloy used in the food industry, sterilizing solutions, air heating and many organic and inorganic chemicals.

304L SS Flange

A Chromium (18-20%), Nickel (8-11%), Low Carbon Iron Alloy used in the food industry, sterilizing solutions, air heating and many organic and inorganic chemicals.

316L SS Flange

A Chromium (16-18%), Nickel (11-14%), Low Carbon Iron Alloy with Molybdenum (2-3%) added to improve corrosion resistance in certain environments, especially those that would tend to cause pitting due to the presence of chlorides. Applications include deionized water.

Steel Flange

Low Carbon Steel: Applications include fluid heat transfer media, tar, high to low viscosity petroleum oils, asphalt, wax, molten salt, and other solutions not corrosive to a steel sheath.
