APPLICATIONS
Heating of viscous materials, in
large storage tanks, to pumping
temperatures. maintaining an entire
tank of viscous fluids such as fuel oil
or asphalt at pumping temperatures
is very costly. In many applications
it is not practical or economical
because the tanks are located
underground or are not insulated.
Type SHO suction oil heaters are
a cost-effective solution to this
problem. Suction heaters are
specifically designed to heat only
that amount of material that is to be pumped from a large storage
tank. The outlet nozzle is
attached to the pump suction.
The heater heats the material
inside the heater pipe body which
is then drawn through the heater
into the suction side of the pump.
This technique saves substantial
energy costs since it is not
necessary to heat the entire
contents of the tank to draw off
relatively small amounts of
viscous materials.
Complete weather-proof
construction makes these heaters
perfect for installation in large
outdoor storage tanks. large
heater inlet provides smooth,
full-flow through the heater.
FEATURES Terminal Enclosure: SHO circulation heaters are
designed to be installed
outdoors in exposed areas.
enclosures are designed to be
moisture resistant or moisture
and explosion resistant.
low watt density elements
make the heaters safe to use on
most viscous liquids. Carbonization
is minimized.
Vessel: Pipe body and nozzles are
gal va nized ASTm A53B carbon
steel pipe. Heater and mounting
flanges are ANSI B16.5 150 lb
galvanized carbon steel. Assembly
provided with thermal insulation
and painted sheet metal jacket.
Thermostats and High limit
Controls: SHO suction heaters
should be provided with
temperature controls to control
fluid outlet temperatures and limit internal temperatures under
abnormal or no-flow conditions.
Depending on customer
specifications, SHO heaters
may be supplied with factory
equipped AR ther mo stats,
high limit cutouts or other
OmegAlux controls.
Control Panels:
Integral or remote mounted control
panels with electronic controls
and solid state (SCR) or contactor
power con trol lers can be provided
using virtually any combination
of control devices. Consult the
Controls section for details.
