Operating
principle of the Impedance pipe Heating System (IHS)
:
The
walls of the tube or pipe in which the fluid flows are
used as an electrical resistance (see sketch).
The
heat energy dissipated in the walls is directly transferred
to the fluid which flows in the tube.
Why
use the IHS heater REVTECH ?
• Standard
operating temperatures up to 950°C (1750°F)
• Low
response time with temperature ramps > 5°C/sec
• High heat transfer coefficient between tube surface and fluid avoids
local overheating
• Accepts highly fluctuating flowrates
• Indestructible
tubular heating element
• Interior of tube perfectly smooth allowing liquids containing solids
to be heated
• Highly flexible
• All stainless steel construction (or in more exotic alloys)
General
specifications for standard REVTECH IHS heaters :
• Tubular heating element in 304L
stainless steel
• Heat body in 304L stainless steel
• Flanged or welded connections to process
• Air cooled by fan
• Temperature and power regulation using power converter
• PT100/type K thermocouple temperature probes
• Outlet fluid temperature accuracy: +/- 2°C at constant flow rate
• Standard pressure 20 bars, higher pressures on request
