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.

Why Elekheat?
Standard catalog heaters often fail because they aren't built for your specific process. We engineer around your reality.
Engineering Support
Heating power calculation, watt density optimization, and material selection based on your oil type.
Safety & Compliance
Explosion-proof design consultation and hazardous area classification support (Zone 1 / Zone 2).
| Aspect | Standard Heater | Elekheat |
|---|---|---|
| Design Basis | Fixed Catalog | Process-Specific |
| Watt Density | Often Too High | Optimized |
| Carbonization Risk | High | Reduced |
| Explosion-Proof | Limited Info | Dedicated Design |
| TCO (Total Cost) | Higher | Lower |
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.
