The series
4600 heaters feature design characteristics which make these units unrivalled
on the market. The high variability of the design allows a perfect adaption to
any process conditions. Thousands of these heaters are in service on ships, in
power stations or industrial applications all over the world.

Design

The series 4600 heaters consist of a welded
pressure vessel with an electric heating insert. The heating elements are
positioned in protection tubes and are not in direct contact with the medium.
They can be exchanged without
draining and opening the pressure vessel. The design of
the heating elements ensure excellent thermal reaction time and control
accuracy.

Heat transfer

Due to the perfect hydraulic flow around the
heating elements, the medium is gently heated to the specified temperature. The
surface load (W/cm²) can be precisely adapted to the medium characteristics.
Recommended surface loads:

0,8 W/cm²

lube oil/low flow rate of medium

1,1 W/cm²

high viscosity heavy fuel oils and average flow
rate of medium

1,4 W/cm²

marine diesel fuels, light diesel fuels and high
flow rate of medium
