Wattco Inline Water Heaters In Depth

Overview of Inline Heaters

Wattco inline heaters are designed to enhance the performance of a regular immersion heater, heating up liquid solutions while maximizing efficiency. These units are ideally suited for heating pressurized fluids including water, oil, steam, and various gases.

Engineering factors to consider include:

the heat requirement for the application of the circulation heater

the selection of the appropriate vessel and flange material

the selection of the material used for the heating element sheath

the appropriate watt density

Skid Circulation Heaters 2In industries with lube oil and waste materials, circulation heaters often are made up of steel as it is less expensive and works sufficiently well enough. On the other hand, for water circulation heaters, stainless steel is used because it is non-corrosive even though it costs more.

Insulation is also a factor to consider. A well insulated circulation heater will save money by reducing the amount of heat loss that occurs.

When selecting the circulation heater for your use, take a closer look also at the watt density as the heater is typically designed for the specific medium that will be heated, and the wattage will correspond to the appropriate flow rate of the medium.

Drain valves are also useful to have in many instances and can usually be added in any location, helping with maintenance and in removing water and oil from the heater.
