Simple principle Thermosafe is a single induction coil, wholly encapsulated in a cylinder
made from a glass reinforced resin specifically developed for chemical plant The cylinder is simply placed over the drum Contact is not required The coil is connected to a sinle phase AC mains supply and generates heat
directly and uniformly in the drum wall Energy transfer is by alternating magnetic field and thus there is no heat
transfer by the conventional and inefficient means of radiation or convec‐tion
As there are no hot elements, the heater remains substantially cooler than the drum being heated.
Efficiency The low system temperature and lack of heat transfer contribute to the high efficiency of the induction heater. Power usage is extremely low at only 2.25kW. Although originally designed with safety in mind, the heaters have won several awards for efficiency and productivity. Independent figures indicate energy savings of over 50% when conpared with conventional radiant drum heaters, and more than 90% in com‐parison with drum ovens.
Safety The complete absence of hot elements and the encapsulation of all electrical components enables
unattended use, overnight if required. Thermosafe can even be used in hazardous areas Zones 1 and 2,
as the heater is unique in possessing full BASEEFA certification. Uniform heating without hot spots reduces the risk of product
degradation. Accidental spillage does not present a fire hazard and personnel
can work comfortably in close proximity. Together, these features allow material to be heated at point‐of
‐use, thus eliminating the transport of hot drums.
Speed By using the entire drum wall to input energy, the fastest practical heating rate can be achieved without product degradation. Heating times will depend on the contents of the drum but, to gice a rough idea, the rate of temperature rise of a typical viscous organic liquid will be about 15°C per hour. The speed is further improved by the instant initial response of induction heating. Typically, Thermosafe has proved to be 2‐4 times faster than ovens.
Maintenance Since 1985, Thermosafe heaters have been supplied to more than 40 countries. With no heating ele‐ments and no moving parts, experience so far suggests a seemingly unlimited life, with literally no main‐tenance.
Cleanliness With ingress protectino to IP66, simple smooth
surfaces and no moving parts, the induction heaters are idial for use in clean environments.
They can even be hosed down during use.
Flexibility –Single or Multi‐drum ”oven” applications In addition to being operated at point‐of‐use and integrated into the process, the heaters are used extensively as replacements for, and alternatives to, drum ovens. A key point to note is that far fe‐wer individual heaters are required than the drum capacity of an oven. For example, one particular award winning installation of 3 Thermosafe units heates 20 drums per day. The ease at which capacity can be adjusted, to meet varying throughput demands and the varying heating requirements of different materials, is in stark contrast to the fixed facility of an oven.
Multi‐purpose The induction heater’s unique features enable the same piece of equipment to be used in a wide ran‐ge of applications to heat: Drums Gas bottles Small‐scale reactors Process vessels Re‐working and sampling of solidified or suspect material, even if heat sensitive, is a common task for Thermosafe. The lack of contact with the drum surface makes this possible even when the material is in its final packing. Complete access to the drum while heating enables pumps and stirrers to be employed. The drum and heater can be integrated into the system, often eliminating the first process vessel, and continuous fee‐ding og material, at regualted temperature and flow rate, can easily be achieved. Uniform heating and instant response makes the heater ideal for removing residues from drums, signifi‐cantly reducing wastage. With full drums, these same features enable very rapid removal of solid drum contents by melting the outer layer of material.
Lifting & Handling Equipment Top, bottom or side flanges may be used to attach handling equipment, if preferred to manual lifting. A range of dedicated products is available but many standard forms of handling devices are also suitable.
Thermosafe Lifting Frame Mobile unit fitted with a braked hand winch Permits a single person to lift, move and lower the hea‐
ter over a drum A wide frame version is available to fit around larger
pallets if required
Lifting attachment for fork lift trucks Enables a heater to be lifted using an existing fork lift
truck The robust steel frame is connected to the heater using
simple retaining bars and clips An anti‐slip covering is applied in the area in contact
with the forks
Control Thermosafe heats by induction and therefore has no heating elements. The maximum temperature is self‐limiting, and the drum wall temperature is governed by the material inside the drum. In the vast majority of applications additional control is not required. Thermosafe remains much cooler than the vessel being heated. The consequent lack of retained heat after switching off allows for very close temperature control using simple on‐off devices. The choice of control will depend on your specific requirements, and might include: Timers, energy regulators or any combination of these or other compo‐nents. We supply: A standard temperature and timer control panel, plus an open loop power control
module. This is highly beneficial when heating sensitive oils and fats that degrade or deteriorate if the temperature differential between centre and edge of the drum be‐comes too large, or if drums of material need to be held at an operating temperature for considerable periods of time without wasting excess energy.
A magnetic pad heavy duty thermocouple that can be attached to the drum wall.
Ideal for precise temperature control applications. In a hazardous area, this is con‐nected via a zener barrier to the control panel mounted in the safe area.
