Fluidized Bed Heater is type of radiant heater is used for maintaining or increasing the temperature in a prescribed section of a fluidized bed reactor or other reaction vessel. Such equipment is widely used in the chemical process industries and often requires high temperature heating.

Fluidized Bed Heater


Construction Materials

Heavy-duty Nickel-Chrome rod heating elements are supported at the insulation inside diameter by a high temperature ceramic material, which is completely thermally and electrically isolated from the metallic insulation anchors. The heating elements are offset from the fluidized bed or reactor vessel to assure even heat flux and prevent the electrically-energized elements from contacting the vessel. The electrical elements operate at standard three phase voltages such as 380, 415, 460, 480, and 600 volts.


Features

  • Heat large diameter pressure vessels to high temperature (vessel temperatures to 1000° C).
  • Indirect heat transfer.
  • Zero in-plant CO2 emissions.
  • Low maintenance cost.
  • Precise temperature control.
