Common questions on this part
For fuel oil heating, low watt density models (3.0 to 3.5 W/cm²) must be specified to prevent oil carbonization and coke buildup on the element sheath. STARNEX stocks low-watt-density oil immersion heaters specifically for HFO tanks.
Yes. The six terminal posts can be bus-barred in parallel for 240V single-phase supplies, though the circuit will draw 37.5 Amps and requires appropriate heavy cable and circuit breaker sizing.
The integrated thermowell pocket should house a high-limit safety thermostat connected to de-energize the heater circuit if liquid level drops below the elements. Immersion heaters must always remain completely submerged during operation.
Yes. Every immersion heater includes a high-temperature EPDM/fiber sealing gasket for leak-free installation into 2" female tank sockets.
Yes. STARNEX stocks 3 kW, 6 kW, 9 kW, 12 kW, and 15 kW immersion heaters in Nairobi for same-day trade counter collection.
