Screw plug heaters are miniature versions of immersion heaters that use a threaded plug in place of the heater flange. After fitting into a threaded hexagonal head, one or more tubular heating elements are screwed straight through a threaded connection in the tank wall, vessel, or installed process line. Solutions in smaller containers that might or might not need temperature control can be easily heated with screw plug heaters. In the tank, the heaters can be positioned either vertically or horizontally. Both single-phase and three-phase power supply can be used with the heater. – NOBLEHEAT
In order to monitor and manage the temperature, the screw plug heaters also come with a thermowell where a temperature sensor can be attached. To guarantee that the heater is turned on and off at a predetermined temperature, a basic thermostat is typically fitted within the thermowell and pre-wired with the heater. For the operator’s convenience, the thermostat knob can be positioned outside the terminal cover.
