Additional information

Introduction

NPO TeploKhimMash offers an electric heating system using flexible panels of the RT type for heating tanks and containers.(RT -2022, RT-1022, RT-522 , RTF-2260, RTF-2284). Heating panels offer a number of advantages over conventional heating cable systems:
Quick, simple and reliable installation by gluing the heating panel with silicone adhesive to the tank (Minimum installation temperature - 55 0FROM);
The maximum contact area between the panel and the heated surface - allows you to increase the heating efficiency. Unlike cable heating systems, heating panel, thanks to its design, has a reliable 100% contact with heated surface, which increases the efficiency of heat transfer to the walls of the tank;
Minimum area, occupied by the tank heating system, due to high power density compared to cables. This allows you to significantly reduce the size of the heating system and place them compactly in the lower part of the tank, instead of wrapping the entire tank with the cable;
Compact panel placement – usually, panels are placed below the minimum possible level of the product and really heat the product, not the empty space of the tank;
Easy troubleshooting – local location of panels under insulation. It is difficult to determine the location of the cable damage on the tank under thermal insulation.. Panel is easy to change, and to replace the cable, you will have to remove the insulation from the entire tank;
High reliability – the heating element uses parallel circuits,based on forged high temperature alloy heating elements (this design eliminates the possibility of burnout, as opposed to sequential circuits);
Resistance to high temperatures - the temperature of continuous exposure is 232 0FROM;
Built-in temperature limiter – protect the panel and product from overheating, will provide individual sensitivity to the temperature regimes of each panel, not just systems as a whole.;
Vibration and humidity protection – the heating element is laminated in a layer of silicone rubber.

Application

Heating of metal containers and reservoirs
RT FlexiPanel is an insulated high performance flexible heating panel, specially designed for use on metal containers and tanks. Designed to provide thermal output 3100 W / m ., RT FlexiPanel ² distributes heat evenly over its entire surface. Flexible, low-profile panel design provides fast, secure mounting with mounting kit, supplied by Thermon.
To ensure multiple paths for electrical current to flow, RT FlexiPanel uses parallel circuits, based on forged high temperature alloy heating elements. This design eliminates the possibility of burnout, conventional for serial circuits, using wire . Rugged RT FlexiPanel construction includes a strong metal shell , which provides mechanical protection during installation and operation. The heating element of the panel has additional protection against vibration and humidity.. To do this, it is laminated in a layer of silicone rubber., which provides cushioning and waterproofing.
RT FlexiPanels are designed for use in conventional (unclassified) and explosive areas.

Notes

Attention, do not design or use RT Flexi Panel heaters for applications with product level below the area of ​​the heaters or temperature sensor.
It is possible to supply panels of other sizes and with different power density;for assistance in designing, please contact the Scientific and Production Association “TeploKhimMash”
Temperature class based on stabilized design or when using temperature limiters.

Protection apparatus characteristics . . .

Several panels can be powered from one protection device according to the operating voltage and current consumption. Power consumption, the settings for the protection device and the earth leakage protection must be based on the local regulations in force.
For design and performance information at other voltage levels, contact . Research and Production Association “TeploKhimMash” Protection of electric heating equipment from current leakage to the ground must be provided for each electric heating circuit. Observe local safety shutdown regulations.

Lead wires and terminations . . .

Each FlexiPanel is supplied with 1.83m high temperature silicone rubber insulated wire with a waterproof sleeve. Other 3-core wires available; please contact the TeploKhimMash Research and Production Association.
