Safe heating of gas bottles, even in hazardous areas

Ideal for gentle warming and maintaining flow

 

 

LMK Thermosafe are pleased to announce their hazardous area heating jackets for gas bottles. These ATEX / IECEx Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 (T4 and T3 temperature classifications) rated heating jackets are ideal for gentle warming, anti-frosting and calibration gas applications.

They are constructed with a silicone coated glass cloth outer and high density fibreglass insulation. Safe operating conditions are maintained even in the presence of potentially explosive gases and dusts. No transformers are required as they operate using a standard 240v ac supply.

The InteliHeat Flexiplus Gas Bottle Heating Jackets are designed to fit around the common type K and L gas bottles (⌀230mm) and other bottles of a similar size. Other sizes of heating jacket for smaller / larger cylinders are also available.

There are three ‘standard’ options available, one of which is self-limiting, and two of which comes with temperature regulators which sit on the side of the jacket. Model IHF/G/T4 will limit at around 30°C above the ambient temperature on the gas bottle wall when operated at 240v (i.e. with a 20°C ambient temperature, the gas bottle wall temperature will be around 50°C under normal utilisation / draw-off conditions). Models IHF-R/G/T4 and IHF-R/G/T3 come with temperature regulators which can be adjusted inside the (gas) zone.

Ex-stock and customised base heaters.

May be used on their own, or with other LMK Heating products.

Self-limiting and digital control options.

GrafHEAT base heaters form part of our new and advanced range of industrial process heating solutions which use our patented and national award-winning GrafHEAT heating technology. Standard options available ex-stock for everything from 1L pots to 1250L IBCs, with a wide capability for customised solutions specific to individual applications.

Safe to run 24/7, GrafHEAT devices are offered in either self-limiting formats (where power density can be customised during manufacture) or with additional digital control packages, with options in both 100-120v and 220-240v.

This unique product has been developed by incorporating carefully tuned and optimised Graphene within a patented polymer composite. Our unique heating technology uses positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect to control both the power and temperature of the heating devices. The applied solutions are extremely safe and economical to use for small and large industrial applications.

Many laboratory and industrial processes require a constant flow of gas to be delivered from pressurised cylinders containing gas in liquid phase. If there is a high utilisation rate, frosting can occur on the surface of the cylinder and flow rates can be adversely affected. Our uniform and insulated heating solutions can prevent this phenomenon and restore stability to the flow rate. This is particularly important when using calibration gases where repeatability is vital. (Separate pressure monitoring systems should always be in place to meet health and safety requirements.)

LMK Thermosafe Ltd. have been manufacturing robust and reliable industrial heaters for safe and hazardous area use for over 30 years.

Our standard product range includes a selection of flexible heating jackets for pressurised gas cylinders. These have been designed with a variety of control options for both safe and hazardous “Ex” areas where there is risk of explosion. We manufacture to CE, ATEX/IECEx, UL and CSA standards in our ISO9001 certified factories in the UK.

In addition to our Heating Jackets for IBCs, we also have un-powered Insulated Jackets. Designed for applications where the tote needs to be kept warm or cool, by slowing down temperature changes / responses to the local ambient temperature. Standard 1000L and 1250L versions are available, however other sizes can be made to order.

These units are manufactured from a polyurethane coated nylon with a highly efficient layer of thermal insulation contained within. Velcro is used to secure the side jacket, allowing quick and easy installation.

The Insulated Lid features a central access flap for the top opening / filler cap.

Safe heating of IBC’s, even in hazardous areas

LMK Thermosafe are pleased to present their hazardous area heating jackets for IBC’s. These ATEX and IECEx Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 (temperature classifications T4 and T3) rated jackets use a completely new and proprietary design. 

These are constructed with a custom elastomer with silicone coated glass cloth materials and high density fibreglass insulation. Safe operating conditions are maintained even in the presence of potentially explosive gases and dusts.

Heating rates and top achievable temperatures vary depending on the model, but where required IBCs can be heated up to their maximum design temperatures (typically 60-85℃ depending on the type of IBC) . No transformers are required as the jackets operate using standard ac supply voltages. The jackets are suppled either as self-limiting designs which will maintain a temperature on the IBC wall (20-35℃ above the ambient temperature when operated at 240v), with adjustable temperature regulators (range dependent on zone temperature classification), or with digital jacket and wall-mounted controllers.

Designed primarily for use with plastic liner, metal framed IBCs, some models may also be used to heat 4x205L (45G) drums. An LMK Insulated lid would normally be used to reduce heat loss and improve heating times. Certified jackets to fit other sizes, shapes and styles of container are also available. Please contact LMK Thermosafe to discuss specific requirements.
