Electric immersion heating element

This 5000W 230V electric immersion heating element, with a 1 1/4" threaded connection and a length of 425 mm, is manufactured from 316 extruded stainless steel and designed for applications where corrosion resistance and compatibility with different liquids are important.

Unlike a standard domestic boiler heating element, this model can be used not only for heating water but also for oils and a wide range of compatible liquids used in industrial and chemical processes.

The 316 extruded stainless steel construction makes it suitable for more demanding operating conditions where the heating element remains in direct contact with the liquid and improved resistance to corrosion and chemical attack is required.

The heater has a rated power of 5 kW, operates at 230V, and is installed using a 1 1/4" threaded connection.

It is suitable for tanks, boilers, oil-heating systems, process equipment and various industrial liquid-heating applications.

What liquids can it be used for?

This heating element is suitable for applications involving:

• water;
• process water;
• oils;
• industrial oils;
• process liquids;
• compatible chemical solutions;
• liquids used in industrial installations;
• applications requiring improved corrosion resistance.

For specific chemical applications, final material compatibility should be checked according to the type of liquid, concentration, operating temperature and process conditions.

Why 316 Extruded Stainless Steel?

In many industrial applications, a standard heating element is not sufficient.

When a heater operates in direct contact with oil, treated water or chemical liquids, the sheath material becomes an important part of the product selection.

316 extruded stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance and is suitable for many demanding industrial environments where standard materials may have a shorter service life.

For this reason, this model is intended for professional and industrial use rather than only conventional domestic boiler applications.

Recommended Applications

The heating element can be used, depending on process conditions, in:

• industrial boilers;
• water tanks;
• oil tanks;
• oil heating systems;
• food-processing equipment;
• process installations;
• chemical industry equipment;
• process tanks;
• water-treatment systems;
• industrial liquid-heating equipment.

Heating Element for Oil

Heating oil requires different considerations than heating water.

The correct heater power should be selected according to the type of oil, viscosity, operating temperature and required heat-up time. Excessive surface watt density may cause local overheating or degradation of certain oils.

For special oil-heating applications, we can also manufacture custom immersion heaters with dimensions and power ratings adapted to the process.

Heating Element for Chemical Applications

For chemical processes, selecting a heater only by voltage and wattage is not sufficient.

The following parameters should also be considered:

• chemical composition;
• concentration;
• operating temperature;
• pH;
• operating time;
• tank material;
• required heating power;
• heater surface watt density.

If these process details are available, a heating element can be selected or manufactured specifically for the application.

Cannot Find the Required Size?

We can also manufacture custom immersion heating elements for water, oil and industrial process applications.

Custom versions can be produced with:

• different lengths;
• different power ratings;
• different voltages;
• different thread sizes;
• different sheath materials;
• special configurations;
• additional protection;
• temperature sensors;
• industrial terminal enclosures.

For a custom heater, send us a photo or technical drawing of the existing element together with the dimensions, voltage, power and information about the liquid to be heated.
