Industrial Immersion Heater Configurations

Wattheat manufactures a comprehensive range of industrial immersion heaters, engineered with specialized mounting systems to accommodate diverse vessel geometries and process requirements. Based on the specific installation method required for your system, our primary configurations include: Screw Plug Immersion Heaters, Flanged Immersion Heaters, Over-the-Side Immersion Heaters and Circulation Heaters (In-Line Heaters).

Wattheat Screw Plug Immersion Heaters

Screw Plug Immersion Heaters

Wattheat screw plug immersion heaters are designed for direct immersion liquid heating and feature either brass or stainless steel threaded flanges with high-quality surface finishing.
The tubular heating elements are brazed or welded to a hex pipe thread, ensuring secure installation and efficient heat transfer.

Available in round or flat tubular elements, Wattheat screw plug heaters can be fully customized in terms of size, material, wattage, and voltage to meet specific industrial requirements.
Also referred to as threaded flange immersion heaters, they are widely used in tanks, reservoirs, and process equipment. just contact Wattheat

Wattheat Flange Immersion Heaters

Flange Immersion Heaters

Flange immersion heaters consist of tubular heating elements welded or brazed to a plate flange, available in round or square designs.
Properly engineered flange heaters deliver high thermal efficiency, as heat is transferred directly into the process medium.

Wattheat manufactures flange immersion heaters using high-grade sheath materials and custom flange sizes, tailored to your system design, operating conditions, and heating medium. Just feel free to contact us if you have any needs.

Wattheat Flange Immersion Heaters
Wattheat Over-the-Side Immersion Heaters

Over-the-Side Immersion Heaters

Over-the-side immersion heaters are ideal for tanks where through-wall installation is not possible.
They mount over the tank edge, immersing the heating elements directly into the liquid without requiring threaded or flanged penetrations.

These industrial heaters are space-saving, easy to remove for maintenance, and commonly used for heating acidic and alkaline solutions.
Wattheat offers standard and custom designs, most commonly L-shaped configurations with PTFE sheathed elements for chemical resistance.

Wattheat Circulation Heaters (In-Line Heaters)

Circulation Heaters (In-Line Heaters)

Circulation heaters integrate tubular heating elements inside a pipe or pressure vessel, allowing fluids to be heated as they flow through the system.
They are well-suited for continuous and inline heating processes, offering precise temperature control and efficient energy transfer in closed-loop systems. just contact Wattheat

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

industrial tubular immersion heater

Yes. Wattheat tubular immersion heaters are fully customizable for OEM applications, including element shape, heated length, mounting method (screw plug, flange, over-the-side), voltage, and power density. This allows seamless integration into new equipment designs or retrofit projects.

The choice depends on your medium’s chemical compatibility and pressure requirements. Brass flanges are typically used for clean water heating and offer a cost-effective solution for non-corrosive environments. Stainless steel flanges are mandatory for deionized water, food-grade applications, and corrosive chemical solutions to ensure long-term durability and hygiene.

Yes, for corrosive environments like acid or alkali solutions, we recommend our PTFE-sheathed L-shape heaters. PTFE provides excellent chemical resistance, while the “over-the-side” design allows for easy maintenance without the need for tank penetrations, which could become leak points over time.

Circulation Heaters (In-Line Heaters) are designed for forced-flow systems where rapid temperature elevation is required. Unlike static tank heaters, these units heat moving fluids in a compact, insulated chamber, offering 100% thermal efficiency and precise temperature control for continuous industrial processes.

Yes, Wattheat can manufacture custom-engineered solutions featuring anti-explosion terminal enclosures. These are essential for hazardous environments where flammable gases or vapors are present, ensuring that the heating system meets rigorous industrial safety standards while maintaining high performance.
