Wattco’s over the side (OTS) heaters advantages

Over the side immersion heaters are specifically designed to be installed in the upper portion of tanks. The substance to be heated is either below the industrial tank heater or onto one side, hence the name. The main advantages of this approach are that ample space is left in the tank for other operations to take place, and the heater can easily be removed when the required temperature is achieved within the substance.

The heating element of an over the side process heater is usually made from steel, copper, cast alloy and titanium. A coating of fluoropolymer or quartz can be provided for protection.

There are several applications in which over the side heaters can be used, such as heating oils of varying viscosities, degreasing solutions, heat transfer oils and caustic solutions.
