Electric heating systems for tank and silo construction
If temperature-sensitive liquids or materials are to be stored in tanks or silos, it is often necessary to heat the media in order to ensure trouble-free processing. The main reasons for this are:
Viscosity reduction
many liquids, such as oils or chemicals, have a high viscosity at low temperatures. By heating the tanks, the viscosity of the liquids is reduced, which makes pumping and further transportation easier.
Prevention of crystallization
Certain substances, such as paraffines or liquid salts, can crystallize at low temperatures. Heating the tanks helps to keep these substances in liquid form and preserve their properties.
Maintaining product quality
Some products, such as foodstuffs or chemical substances, can be affected by cold. A constant temperature helps to ensure the quality and stability of these products.
Preventing frost damage
In cold climates, heating tanks can prevent liquids from freezing, which can lead to damage to the tanks or the liquids they contain.
Optimization of production processes
In many industrial applications, a certain temperature is required to carry out chemical reactions or physical processes efficiently. Heated tanks can help to create these conditions.
Energy efficiency
For viscous liquids, heating tanks can reduce the need for additional energy required for pumping or processing.
Overall, heating tanks or silos is an important measure to ensure efficiency, safety and quality in various industrial applications.
Klöpper-Therm's electric heating systems are suitable for tanks, tank trucks, silos and containers and are designed by our experts to meet your individual requirements.
Our heating systems
From foundation heating to heating systems to compensate for heat losses in tanks or silos, Klöpper-Therm will design the right electric heating system for you.
Our heaters are also suitable for very high holding temperatures. Heating is usually carried out with the help of cables that are installed on the outside of tanks or silos.
If your media can be heated directly, we can offer you flow heaters or flange heaters optimized for your application to maintain the temperature or to heat the stored media.
Klöpper-Therm offers you everything from a single source, from engineering to installation of the electrical heating systems.
Perfectly designed insulation reduces heat losses to a minimum. This means that our systems not only save energy but are also particularly cost-efficient and economical.
On request, our modern control units can monitor your system independently. Heat requirements are automatically detected, and the operation of the heating system is controlled accordingly. An integrated alarm system informs you of any malfunctions.
The heating systems from Klöpper-Therm meet the highest safety standards and are also suitable for use in hazardous areas (zone one and two).
