Threaded Electric Immersion Heaters

Threaded immersion electric heaters are devices designed to heat fluids such as water, oil, acids, or other liquids by directly inserting them into tanks or containers. Thanks to their threaded connection, they can be easily mounted on pressurised or storage tanks, making direct contact with the fluid to be heated. The heat is generated by the immersion electric heating element inside the heater and transferred to the liquid during operation, ensuring uniform and efficient heating.

Depending on the client’s specific requirements (fluid type, operating temperature, available dimensions, and working pressure), the technical office determines all the necessary characteristics for product definition. This ensures long-lasting performance and high quality.

REART offers the option to order electric heaters in either single-phase or three-phase versions, depending on the available power supply.

For processes where the electric heater is used in highly corrosive environments, single thread heaters with suitable materials are recommended based on the specific application.

Two types of welding are used depending on the manufacturing materials of the immersion heater. Silver-brazing is used for brass threaded connections, while Tig welding is used for stainless steel (300 series) or titanium threaded connections.
Upon client request, REART offers various thermostat options to ensure the proper functioning and safety of the immersion heater. The following thermostat models can be mounted on the heater (also available in the “Accessories and Spare Parts” section):

  • single-phase regulation thermostats with automatic reset. Several adjustment scales including:

1-Scale 4-40°
 2- Scale 30-90° C

3-Scale 0-100° C

4-Scale 50-300° C
