Over the side Immersion Heater

Over the side Immersion heater

Over-the-side immersion heaters are for applications where installing a heater through the side wall of a vessel is not convenient. These immersion heaters are easy to install and can be moved from one tank to another without the need to drain the tank.

Over-the-side immersion heaters are ideal for applications where scale or sludge build-up on the heater sheath is an issue. These heaters can be easily removed for periodic cleaning.

Bucan over-the-side immersion heaters are available in three models:

• Straight “L” shaped for heating the bottom of rectangular tanks
• Circular “O” shaped for heating the bottom of round tanks
• Rectangular shaped that are hung on the side lip of the tank to provide side wall heating.
