1 SCREWPLUG HETERS

2 SCREWPLUG HETERS OVERVIEW WTTCO screwplug heaters are comprised of hairpin tubular elements that are brazed or welded into a machined pipe thread fitting, which are then screwed directly through a threaded coupling in the tank wall or vessel, or installed in pipe. WTTCO screwplug heaters are used for heating gases and liquids in tanks or vessels. It is strongly advised, for safety and reliability reasons, to immerse the heated section of the elements in the liquid, which will then be heated through natural convection currents that the elements create. SELECTING WTTCO SCREWPLUG HETER The following recommendations will help you select the appropriate WTTCO screwplug heater that will meet the requirements of your application. Select appropriate screwplug heaters in order to maximize service life. Establish wattage requirement, heater voltage and phase Establish typical temperature range to be reached with the heater. Establish type of solution to be heated (chemical and thermal properties). Establish type of mounting required. Select corrosion-resistant construction materials that will not deteriorate or pollute the liquid. Please note that heaters are not guaranteed against corrosion or extraordinary working conditions, as liquid types, concentrations, and solution temperatures cannot be controlled. High heat-up time requirements will result in higher equipment and operating costs. Screwplug are just a component of a larger system. Proper controls should be included to assure the proper functioning and life longevity of the screwplug immersion heaters. These include high limit cutouts, temperature controls as well as level controls that could influence warranty issues. WRNING RISKS OF FIRE ND EXPLOSION If used around explosive or combustible materials, screwplug heaters can sometimes be defective during normal use and can start a fire.

3 SCREWPLUG HETERS HOW FCTORS Please consider the following factors in order to select the proper screwplug heater: Desired operating temperature mbient temperature Vessel insulation Heating element watt density vailable length within your tank Sheath material (corrosive or non corrosive) o Temperature of the corrodent o Degree of aeration of exposed corrodent o Velocity of the corrodent TO INSTLL THE SCREWPLUG HETER: Pass it through a threaded half coupling in the tank wall, below the minimum liquid level. Place it right above the bottom to avoid sludge build-up. Horizontal installation is advised even if the heater replacement needs the tank to be drained. Vertical installation is also a possible option with special consideration given to the element s specific watt density as well as the level of the liquid to be heated. Please call us at.00.wttco ( ) for more information before placing your order. HOW TO OPERTE: To transfer heat with a screwplug immersion heater, consideration should be given to the following: To determine the proper heat transfer from the elements to the liquids. Special care should be given to viscous materials (ie. Molasses, sphalt, Oil etc ). Determination of various factors should be made prior to ordering the, to avoid overheating and carbonization of the materials being heated. Heaters that are immersed in liquids (high-calcium water, magnesium content, phosphates or eluate solutions) tend to leave deposits on the sheath of the elements during the heating process. It is highly suggested to clean heaters regularly in order to remove scale build up, which may cause thermal insulation of the elements, reduce service life longevity and premature failure.
