Industrial Flange Oil Heater Reliability Meets Performance
Designed for demanding process applications. Standard or Explosion-Proof solutions customized for thermal oil, crude oil, bitumen, and hydraulic systems.
Solving Real Operational Risks
Industrial customers don’t just buy a heater — they buy a solution to viscosity, safety, and efficiency problems. Here is how Elekheat addresses your pain points.
The Problem
Oil solidifies at low temps; High viscosity causes pump failure.
- The Solution
Optimized element layout ensures even heat distribution and stable flow.
The Problem
Uneven heating causes carbonization, coking, and oil degradation.
- The Solution
Low watt density engineering protects oil quality and extends element life.
The Problem
Frequent maintenance and heater failure in hazardous areas.
- The Solution
Robust construction with ATEX/IECEx options for continuous duty.
Product Features & Advantages
Engineered for continuous operation in the harshest industrial environments.
High Power Output
Designed for medium to large loads (10kW to 300kW+) with efficient heat transfer.
Explosion-Proof
Optional ATEX / IECEx compliance for Zone 1 & Zone 2 hazardous areas.
Custom Engineering
Voltage, flange size (ANSI/DIN/GB), and immersion length tailored to your tank.
Easy Maintenance
Heater bundle removes as a complete unit via the flange connection.
Application-Based Solutions
Different oil challenges require different design priorities.
For Storage Tanks (Crude, Bitumen, Heavy Oil)
Viscosity increases at low temp leading to pump overload or solidification.
- Extra-low watt density to prevent coking.
- Even heat distribution to maintain pumpable viscosity.
- Robust design for long-term tank immersion.
For Thermal Oil Circulation Systems
Inconsistent temperature affecting downstream processes and oil degradation due to localized overheating.
- Precisely calculated heating power.
- Optimized element spacing for uniform temperature rise.
- Compatibility with PID / PLC control systems.
For Hazardous & Explosion-Risk Areas
Strict safety requirements and high risk of ignition in oil & gas environments.
- Flameproof terminal enclosures.
- Certified cable glands and high-temp wiring.
- Design aligned with Zone 1 / Zone 2 requirements.

How It Works
Installation
Heater installs directly into tank/pipe via flange.
Heating
Resistance elements transfer heat to surrounding oil.
Control
External PID/Thermostat maintains precise temperature.
