3kW Industrial Immersion Heater

Description

Our 3kW Industrial Immersion Heater, is fully UK manufactured, to exactingly high standards, from high quality component parts (resistance coil wire, magnesium oxide, tubing & electrical connections) then assembled by highly skilled technicians & top CNC machinery.

• Immersed length of 300mm or 12″
• 2.25″BSP screwplug
• 415v 3 phase 4 Wire Star by default.
• ###PLEASE SPECIFY IF 240v SINGLE PHASE REQUIRED, £15 extra or Bits in the Box (see images)###
• 150mm or 6″ inactive or cold end
• 6 w/cm² or 31w/in² (The lower the better) watt density
• Alloy IP67 terminal enclosures, dimensions – 120mm diameter x 105mm height.
• 3 x Incoloy 800 (“a superior stainless steel”) 8mm diameter 1KW 40” elements.
• Elements brazed into screwplug.
• Complete with Tig welded incolloy 800 11″ thermowell. This will house any of our 11″ thermostats.

Call Jamie on 01827 215684 to discuss your 3kW industrial immersion heater needs.

Or if you absolutely insist on buying online, please don’t forget the stat to control and / or cutout.

• Control only – 5-80°C or 45 -120°C.
• Control & Failsafe Cutout – Control 8-65°C, Cutout @ 90°C – Horizontal Fit (Thru the Side) or Vertical fit (Thru top or bottom of vessel).
• Cutout only – Settable between 45-95°C.

A full description and explanation of the component parts of a screwed immersion heater is available here on our blog. Also available is information about how best to choose an immersion heater for water, oil, and breweries. Also available is an informational entry about the process we go through when designing immersion heaters, generally.

Useful 3kW Industrial Immersion Heater Background information.

Industrial Heating elements are a resistance coil wire (producing heat), encased in magnesium oxide (the white powder, compacted by rolling down from 10mm to 8mm, for protection of wire & insulation purposes, bizarrely) encased in a usually stainless steel tube. For more detailed written explanation, click here. For a video explanation by some bloke with a really boring voice, click above.

Just for clarification, an Immersion Heater (see below) is 3 such elements (as image above) on a screwplug with a terminal box housing the connections. Cuz we all speak diffrent!

We can supply Industrial Heating Elements to your exact length, power output and shape requirements, but as dimensions and accuracy are critical, it’s best we have a conversation about your needs. Also, if your 3kW Industrial Immersion Heater needs deviate from the stock heater above, feel free to call Jamie on 01827 215684 to discuss your specific needs.

For the Inquisitive – Background Information

An Immersion Heater…

…is usually 3 Heating Elements, (usually Incoloy 800 sheathed (“A Superior Stainless Steel“))…

…sometimes U bent as in Element image, sometimes looped, as in Immersion Heater image. This fits more element into available space, thus lowering the watt density & extending it’s working life. Usually on a screwplug, usually Brass 2.25″BSP.  Usually with a terminal box, hopefully IP 67 . Commonly to screw into a vessel, usually Stainless Steel, generally through the side, via a weld boss, welded to the tank.

On our blog, ElementsOfHeating there is a wealth of relevant and useful information. An explanation of what a heating element actually is. Also we have a full description and explanation of the component parts of a screwed immersion heater and my best punt at explaining the joys of watt density, and it’s crucial importance when choosing the most appropriate immersion heater for water, oil, and breweries. Also available is an informational entry about the process we go through when designing immersion heaters generally.
