Application
Type CXC heaters are used primarily for water heating and have brass
screwplugs and copper sheaths.
Type CXF are used primarily for oil heating and have steel screwplugs. B
Low watt density heaters are used in heavier, non-circulated oils. Higher
watt density heaters are suitable for light oils or in forced oil circulation
loops. Incoloy® elements are silver brazed into a steel screwplug.
Built-in Thermostats
Standard built‑in thermostat is a one pole device limited to 240V 25 amp. B
Whenever the heater voltage exceeds 240V or the heater current exceeds
25 amps or for three phase supply, the thermostat is intended for pilot
duty only and is not factory wired to the elements. See Section F of the
Caloritech™ catalog for selection of the contactor and control transformer
you may require in these instances.

Domestic Immersion Heaters - CX
Application
Caloritech™ domestic immersion heaters have been developed as high
quality replacements for the most commonly used heater types.
In cases where the old style resistor type element is called for, choose
a tin or zinc plated element. The plating reduces galvanic current within
the tank, thus reducing corrosion and providing a longer heater and B
tank life. The elements are also epoxy sealed to protect the heater
from moisture and other contaminants which could otherwise lead to
premature element failure.

Urn Heaters - TX
Application
Type TX immersion heaters are intended for use in steam tables, coffee
urns, kettles, sterilizers, percolators and many other water heating
applications where a bottom-mount heater is most practical.
The heaters are not guaranteed against corrosion since Thermon
Heating Systems has no control over the liquid type, concentration or
temperature.
Heaters must be kept free of heavy scale build-up to prolong life. Most
importantly, the heating elements must be fully immersed in liquid during
operation. Units with built‑in low water level cutouts are recommended.
Units without cutout will fail under low water conditions. Cutouts are
a safety device and should not be relied on as the only form of water
level control.

Installation
Install heaters in a suitable metal pipe with a 2" (51 mm) minimum
inside diameter. Fit 3" standard pipe flanges or 2" (51 mm) couplings
where pipes extend outside the tank wall and cap the pipe ends inside
the vessel.
It is best to leave one pipe a few inches higher than the others. This pipe
will receive the heater with the built‑in thermocouple or limit device to
provide fast response under low liquid level conditions.

• Control systems
Heat transfer in liquids is mainly by convection as opposed to
conduction. Because of their high viscosities, heavy liquids such as Table 39 – 3" - 150 lb Flange (One Hairpin Element)

Flanged Pipe
Heaters - FPH
Caloritech™ FPH Series Flanged Pipe Insert Heaters consist of closely spaced insert pipes mounted
to a common flange. Each pipe in the flange is fitted with an independent heavy duty alloy sheathed
heating element. The insert pipes and flange provide the heater with a sealed installation, keeping
the elements from contacting the fluid in the tank. Heater elements are individually removable in the
event of servicing without draining the tank.
The FPH is suited to applications requiring a higher kW rating than can be achieved with individual
pipe insert heaters. This type of heater is particularly suitable for liquid heating applications requiring
low watt densities such as in large bunker oil storage tanks.

Selection
Flanged pipe insert heaters are listed in ascending flange size. Three specific watt densities are listed although
additional watt densities are available through special order.
Flanged pipe insert heaters should be selected based on required heating load, flange size, pipe insert length
and the maximum watt density for the application.
Standard heaters are constructed with a moisture resistant terminal housing. Optional explosion resistant
terminal housings are available.
