Functional engineering application
The BLX-IMH-6400 Heavy-Duty Threaded Flanged Liquid Immersion Heater is engineered for rapid, energy-efficient direct liquid heating in industrial hot water storage tanks, chemical wash vessels, food processing CIP systems, and fuel oil preheating in Kenya. The assembly consists of three heavy-duty hairpin tubular elements silver-soldered or TIG-welded into a 2" BSP threaded hex screw plug header. Sheathed in corrosion-resistant Incoloy 800 or AISI 316L stainless steel and packed with high-purity magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation, the elements deliver superior thermal conductivity and electrical dielectric insulation. A central stainless steel thermowell tube accommodates temperature controller sensors or capillary thermostats for precise thermal regulation and dry-fire protection.
Industrial 9 kW 415V 3-phase liquid immersion heater featuring 2" BSP brass screw plug, 3 Incoloy 800 hairpin elements, compacted MgO insulation, thermostat thermowell, and IP65 terminal head.

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.
