ELECTRIC
HEAT TRACING
|
Electric heat tracing involves elements of heat transfer,
electrical engineering and design. Different types of
heat tracing products are available for various
applications, from freeze protection to process
temperature maintenance. Not every heat tracing cable is
well-suited for any given application and certainly no
single heat tracing cable is the best choice for every
application. Thermon can objectively evaluate your
application needs without misconceptions about a
particular heat tracing product because we make them all.

STEAM HEAT
TRACING
|
The development of the first heat transfer cement in the
early 1950's became the foundation of Thermon. Today the
application of steam to process lies and vessels is
essentially the same as it was over 40 years ago. The
process industries have become critically dependent upon
reliable and accurate performance of their steam tracing
systems.

CONTROLS
AND MONITORING
|
Controls and Monitoring play an essential role in heat
tracing systems, whether for freeze protecting water
lines or maintaining critical process temperatures.
Reliable control and monitoring systems insure accurate
temperatures, conserve energy and extend system life.
While mechanical thermostats have been used successfully
for many heat tracing applications, advancements in
microprocessor-based technology have made electronic
control and monitoring units both cost-effective and
reliable.

TANK HEATING
PRODUCTS
|
When specifying a tank or vessel heating system, many
choices are available, including heating cables,
immersion heaters (steam coils or tubular heaters), and
exterior surface mounted panel heaters.
An effective
tank and vessel heating system must allow for tank
material and thickness, the fluid's viscosity and heat
transfer characteristics, maximum operating temperatures,
and the various tank operating levels.
Using a well-engineered exterior surface mounted panel
heating system will provide the most efficient and
reliable heating system at the lowest installed cost.
Thermon's tank and vessel heating FlexiPanels provide
day-in, day-out reliable performance unsurpassed by the
industry. This product line includes steam and electric
heating systems for tanks and liquid storage vessels.
Electric heating cables and flexible heating pads are
available for all types of tanks, including lines and
non-metallic vessels.

HOPPER
HEATING PRODUCTS
|
Flyash plugging in hoppers can lead to costly boiler
deratings and shutdowns. But flyash plugging can be
prevented with a well-engineered hopper heating system.
The heating system must preheat the hopper to prevent
moisture condensation and must maintain the flyash at a
sufficiently high temperature during normal operation to
prevent flyash cool-down, agglomeration and plugging.
Frozen
coal plugging of chutes, hoppers, gates and other
equipment can be prevented with a well-designed, energy
efficient modular heating system. The HT Heating Modules,
strategically located, simply melt the ice bond
(1,200-1,500 psi) to ensure continuous flow of coal. An
engineered heating system is more effective and reliable
than systems using vibrators, pneumatic blasters, or
sledge hammers. These products include electric heating
systems for precipitator and baghouse hoppers and freeze
protection of coal or bulk storage/collection hoppers.
