Immersion Heaters

MARATHON HEATER

Marathon offers the broadest selection of Immersion Heaters in the industry. Industrial immersion heaters are designed for direct contact heating of water, oils, viscous materials, solvents, process solutions and gases for many industrial heat applications. Since all heat is generated within the liquid or process, virtually 100% energy efficiency is achieved. immersion heaters are designed for installation into a pipe body, tank or pressure vessel using standard pipe size.

1) FLANGED IMMERSION HEATERS Flanged Immersion Heaters, both round flange and square flange models are a great choice for application requiring Higher wattages . Flanged immersion heaters are designed for installation into a pipe body, tank or pressure vessel using standard pipe size. These heaters are available in wide selection of rating, sizes and sheath materials suitable for the heating requirements of water, air and others gases. Flanged immersion heaters are very efficient since all energy that is generated is dissipated directly into the medium which is being heated.

2) SCREW PLUG IMMERSION HEATERS Screw plug immersion heaters consist of tubular elements in a threaded hex plug. Some models are provided with a thermowell for the temperature control sensor and variety of electrical enclosures for electrical connections. They screw directly through threaded opening in tank walls to heat liquids, viscous fluids, forced air, and gases by direct contact.

3) BOBBIN IMMERSION HEATERS Marathon make Ceramic Bobbin Heaters are fabricated from high temperature refractory insulators in various diameters and lengths for any voltage or wattage within manufacturing limits. These Bobbin Heaters consist of elements, which are exposed partially in air for better transmission of heat. Also, when it is inserted into a thermowell, it offers a large heated area to the liquid or semi-solid to be heated.

4) CUSTOMIZED IMMERSION HEATERS Marathon also provides CI for Tank Heating system are uniquely designed to heat large storage tanks located above or below ground and containing highly viscous fluids or heat sensitive materials. We offeres uniquely designed electric heating systems for large storage tanks. The systems can be installed in above or below ground tanks made of steel, concrete, or any other material.

In-Line Heaters

Marathon In-Line heaters are packaged units consisting of duct heater mounted in a thermally insulated heating chamber for efficient heating of a flowing medium by in-line or side-arm operation. Thermocouple sensors can be provided to connect to most of the controllers various from selections terminals enclose wise, sheath & vessel material, flanged connections & controls. Application include: Water Heating, Freeze Protection, heat Transfer Oil heating, Fuel Oil Heating, Steam, air available Gas heating and others variable applications.

1) FUAL OIL CIRCULATION HEATERS Light and Medium weight Oil Heaters are ideal for temperature maintenance and for improving flow characteristics of oils. Fuel and gas heaters are also used for heat transfer Oils. Heavy or Fuel oil Heaters will reduce the viscosity, thereby improving flow and process efficiency.

2) STEAM AIR GAS CIRCULATION HEATERS Marathon circulation heaters provide a cost effective means for heating air and common industrial gases such as Argon, helium and Nitrogen as well as gaseous mixtures for a wide variety of industrial processes. INCOLOY elements and a Stainless steel vessel enhance safe operation to nearly 1400°F outlet gas temperature in air, gas or steam superheating applications.

3) DUCT HEATERS Process air heaters/Duct heaters are employed in heating air or other gases in ducts, autoclaves, or ovens for many industrial heat applications. sheathed tubular, finned tubular, and finned strip elements consistently outperform gas, oil, and open coil electric unit in both heating efficiency and safety. Durable INCOLOY sheath elements provide for outlet temperatures up to 1200°F/650°C.

4) ESP HOPPER HEATERS Hopper heaters for efficient removal of ash on electrostatic precipitator normally called ESP Hopper Heaters. Due to Flue gas condensation ,Fly ash hoppers experience 'pluggage' problems. Marathon supplies electric surface heating system for fly ash hoppers on electrostatic precipitator in all type of industries who face the problem of blockage in Hoppers. The blockage is so severe that often pneumatic drilling equipment and explosives are required to free the system. This problem, known as Flash Freezing, is extremely inconvenient and very costly. Due to moisture content and low temperature inside hoppers, choking & accumulation of fly ash occurs to maintain temperature inside hoppers for effective flow of fly ash to ash disposal system. to remove these kind of problems, we have to use ESP hoppers heaters, so that they heat up the hopper and hopper get clean which got blocked by dust & ash.

Furnace Heaters
