Preheater is fitted with a tube bundle containing rows of electric heating elements. The elements heat the tubes, transferring heat to fuel flowing around the tubes. Digital controls precisely control fuel temperature by turning banks of heating elements on or off as necessary. As an option, the preheater can be built to ASME code.
The heating elements can be removed from the tube bundle for maintenance. The entire tube bundle can be removed from the preheater shell for cleanout of sludge and debris left by heavy fuel. A drain valve facilitates draining water that may accumulate in the shell.
Preheater has two inches of fiberglass insulation. Control panel meets NEMA type 4 specifications to protect against windblown dust and rain, splashing water and hose-directed water.
The duplex strainers clean debris from the heavy fuel as it is pumped to the preheater. Skid functions as a drip pan for all components and is fitted with a drain valve for safe collection of spilled fluids.
Preheater and other components are also available seperately.
