Tank heating

Two process tank heating systems from Lanemark International are playing a central role in the success of plate heat exchanger refurbisher, PJ Heat Exchangers. The heating accuracy and control achieved is at the heart of the cleaning process, a key part of the company's maintenance service.

"Each of the heated tanks features a TX-25EN heating system with a common exhaust fan to further save on energy consumption," explains Lanemark's sales director, Jeff Foster.

"The gas burners are mounted externally and fire through the tank wall into a multi-pass 2.5 inch immersed tube heat exchanger. Our in-house TxCalc computer program indicated an anticipated efficiency level of some 80% but, in practice, the figure has proven to be nearer 90%."
