Lo-Density® All-In-One Storage Tank/Hot Oil Heater
The time has never been better to make the easy switch from costly, inefficient, maintenance-intensive fossil-fuel heaters to PHCO’s clean, efficient Lo-Density® Heat.
This remarkable heater kit can be used for heating an asphalt tank and supplying hot oil for the plant.
Operational Features
Maintaining asphalt at desired temperatures is a primary feature of this new PHCo heating system. In addition it circulates oil through scavenger coils and over thermostat controlled electric booster heating elements. This provides hot oil for heating jacketed lines, pumps and valves, drags, silo cones and plant components. The scavenger coils allow for quick heat up while booster coils elevate oil temperatures above the asphalt storage temperature if higher temperature hot oil is required.
Open-Coil Pipe Insert Heating Elements
PHCo’s exclusive heating elements are housed in drywells for easy maintenance/replacement without draining the tank.
Lo-Density® Technology
Tank and oil heaters are of exclusive Lo-Density® design, which eliminates coking or damaging of asphalt or oil.
Economical
Electric heat is 100% efficient as soon as it is installed by pinpointing heat where it is needed. It stays 100% efficient for decades.
Simple Installation
Just cut an opening through the head of the tank and slide it into place. Then weld and install insulation and weatherproof jacketing. The UL-Listed control panel is mounted at the factory, pre-wired to the heater, as are controls and sensors.
High-Temperature Centrifugal Pump
Close-coupled to a 3 H.P. TEFC motor, it flows to 85 GPM at 140 FT total head. The pump is skid mounted and pre-plumbed complete with shut off valves and strainer.
Environmentally Friendly
Since there is no fuel required and no stacks for emissions, air quality is not a factor.
Interlocking Capability
By interlocking with other equivalent or larger electric users in the plant, excessive demand charges can be eliminated. Say, for example, the exhaust fan starts, the All-In-One heater shuts off, thereby reducing your energy consumption. The circulating pump will continue to run and scavenge heat from the liquid for your hot oil needs.
State-of-the-Art Controls
A seven-day programmable clock starts the heating process automatically. The main disconnect circuit breaker de-energizes power when the panel door is open. Over-current protection is the result of individually fused heat circuits. The motor is overload is protected, as well. Controls are UL-Listed.
Three Standard Sizes Available
This energy saving heater comes in 60, 100 or 125 kW total rating as standard. Call the factory for other sizes to meet your requirements.
Heating elements carry our standard 5 year replacement guarantee, and are listed by E.T.L.
