QMax explains how its unique finned coils are revolutionising tank heating Industrial processes with high viscosities and melt/pour points normally require active heating when being held in tanks. Vessels for both long-term storage and day-use are regularly equipped with finned internal heating coils to maintain these processes at the ideal temperature for flow and pumpability. Compared to finned coils, the heat transfer rates of un-finned coils (known as ‘slick-pipe’) are typically so inefficient that the length of coil required makes their use impractical. As process viscosity increases, however, the primary challenge with finned internal heating coils is the build-up of […]
