Cast-In Circulation Heaters

Tempco offers three standard Circulation Heater designs that are compact lightweight unit used for heating gases or liquids. The material being heated is pumped through the coiled seamless 316 SS tubing which has been cast into an aluminum body that acts as the heat exchanger. A cartridge or tubular heating element is the heat source. The material being heated never comes into contact with the heating element.
