Over the Side Process Heaters

Phoenix Thermal Supply Over the Side Heaters are available as stock options and custom made to order units. These heaters are designed to just drop over the side of a tank. This style of direct immersion heaters is very popular. Over the Side Heaters provide portability with easy installation and removal as a drop-in style heater. Users will not have to drain the process tank during heater installation or replacement. With a designed “riser” to housing, the electrical components are kept high above the liquid-line and the heating elements are kept at the bottom of the tank. Over-the-side heaters are ideal for heating water, oils, solvents, salts, and acids. Application versatility is enhanced with optional sheath materials, watt densities, terminal enclosures, and mounting methods. Popular designs include “L” shaped and “O” shaped assemblies.
