Electric Heaters
immersion & circulation heater designs delivering fast, uniform heat transfer
What is an Electric Heater?
ZEECO electric heaters provide high‑efficiency, zero‑emission process heating using electric resistance elements instead of combustion. Designed for direct heating of liquids, gases, viscous materials, solvents, and process solutions, electric heaters achieve virtually 100% energy efficiency because heat is generated directly within the process media.
Electric heaters are ideal for facilities requiring precise temperature control, hazardous‑area compliance, or a non‑combustion heat source due to emissions, fuel availability, or safety requirements.
Como funciona
Electric heaters use resistance heating elements immersed directly in the process (Immersion Heaters) or installed within the flow-through vessel (Circulation Heaters).
- Electricity heats the elements, generating thermal energy
- Heat transfers directly into the process fluid or gas, providing fast response and uniform distribution
- With no flame or combustion byproducts, electric heaters eliminate the need for fuel trains, burners, ignition systems, and stack emissions
This design allows for precise control, efficient heat transfer, and reliable operation across a wide range of industrial heating applications
Immersion Heaters
Immersion heaters provide direct-contact heating for water, oils, viscous fluids, solvents, process solutions, and gases. They achieve near-100% energy efficiency because heat is generated inside the medium itself.
Aplicações comuns:
- Large tank oil heaters
- Knockout drum & drain vessel heaters
- Water and seawater heating for utility or process use
- LNG & butane vaporizers
- Onshore & Offshore regeneration heaters
Key Features:
- High-efficiency direct heating
- Wide material options: carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, and more
- Certified for hazardous areas
- Suitable for extremely low and high ambient temperatures
Circulation Heaters
Circulation Heaters are designed to heat flowing liquids or gases using inline or side‑arm piping configurations. With built‑in heating elements, insulation, sensors, and a dedicated heating chamber, they offer high efficiency, fast response, and even heat distribution.
Aplicações comuns:
-
Fuel gas preheating to prevent freezing during pressure reduction
- Dew point control upstream of turbines
- High-temperature gas heating up to 1,000°F (550°C) with standard materials
- LNG, butane, and hydrocarbon vaporizers
- Heating hydrogen, natural gas, hydrogen sulfide, mixed hydrocarbon streams, and crude oils.
Key Features:
- High-efficiency direct heating with uniform heat distribution
- Available up to 2,500 kW per bundle, with unit stacking for higher duties
- Available temperature and power control panels
- Pressure vessels to ASME, PED, and NACE standards
