Over-the-side immersion heaters are designed for installation in the top of the tank with the heated portion directly immersed along the side or at the bottom. They take up little space, eliminate the need for tank penetrations, are easily removed for service, and provide ample working space inside the tank. Custom configured elements evenly distribute heat by direct contact in numerous applications, including acid and alkali solutions. Many models in stock.

How to pick the right sheath

Determining the right heater sheath material for a given liquid isn't difficult, but it does take a little research. Most heater manufacturers publish sheath selection tables. If you've looked at these tables from a few different manufacturers, though, you’ve probably found what appears to be contradictory information. For instance, most everyone agrees that, among the lower cost sheath materials, Incoloy gives the longest service life in potable water applications. But, after that, you'll find some manufacturers who rate copper as a “Best” material while others rate it only as a “Good” material. Who are you going to believe?

Well, we've gone through all of the selection tables from all of the manufacturers, combined with our own experience, and compiled our own Sheath Material Selector that lists what we feel are “Good,” “Better,” and “Best” sheath materials for applications in specific fluids. You'll also see some explanatory notes in there: for instance, we don't recommend heating flammable liquids directly, and, although most liquids can be heated with PTFE-sheathed heaters, we don't show that in most cases, since it would be overkill and a less expensive alternative will work just fine.
