Purple Heat Exchangers' Suction Heaters & Coolers provide on-demand heating or cooling for viscous fluids like asphalt, bitumen, and heavy fuel oils. Designed to be inserted directly into the tank wall, these units heat or cool only the product being pumped, reducing energy costs and improving efficiency. Constructed from high-quality materials, such as carbon steel or stainless steel, they ensure durability and minimal maintenance. Ideal for industries requiring precise temperature control, these systems optimise operations while protecting pipelines and equipment from damage caused by freezing or high viscosity.
Efficient and Cost-Effective Heating Solutions
Suction heaters and coolers from Purple Heat Exchangers are designed to heat or cool viscous fluids like asphalt, bitumen, and heavy fuel oil to pumpable temperatures. By heating or cooling only the fluid being withdrawn, these systems offer substantial energy savings and operational efficiency compared to heating an entire tank.
Industrial Suction Heaters & Coolers: Built to ASME Code
Our custom-designed suction heaters and coolers are constructed with precision and durability in mind. Key features include:
- ASME Code Compliance: Fully compliant and code-stamped.
- Custom Tube Bundles: Designed with an open-end shell for efficient heat transfer.
- Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Constructed from carbon steel, 304L, 316L stainless steel, or other corrosion-resistant alloys upon request.
- Durable Design: Built to last with minimal maintenance, ensuring decades of reliable performance.
How Suction Heaters Work
Suction heaters operate by circulating thermal oil, steam, or another heat transfer fluid through custom-designed tube bundles. They heat the specific amount of material being pumped from the tank, reducing its viscosity and making it easier to transport.
For cooling, suction coolers efficiently lower the temperature of fluids on-demand, providing versatility for various industrial applications.
Key Benefits
- Cost-Effectiveness:
Only heat or cool the fluid being withdrawn, minimising energy usage and operational costs. - Energy Efficiency:
Nearly 100% efficiency with little to no heat loss, reducing energy consumption and supporting eco-friendly operations. - High Performance:
Accelerated heating and cooling with no thermal lag, ensuring fast and effective operation.
