FP Cast Line Heaters

Product Applications
  • Seal gas
  • Air
  • Natural gas
  • Biogas
  • Paint heating
  • Nitrogen
  • CO2
  • Solvent
  • Instrument air
  • Pasteurisation

EXHEAT’s range of cast line heaters provide a compact and efficient heating solution for constant flow liquids or gases. Cast-in circulation heaters are increasingly being selected over traditional pressure vessel type heaters for the following reasons:

  • Cost effective
  • Uniform heat distribution
  • Available on shorter lead times
  • Resistant to any internal vibrations
  • Compact size with a reduced footprint
  • Increased safety due to the encasement
  • Suitable for high process design pressures
  • High reliability and increased service life
  • Excellent heat transfer and residual heating from the aluminium casting


The design incorporates electric heating elements and an indirect process heating coil embedded within marine grade cast aluminium. This provides excellent heat transfer properties combined with low surface temperatures.

Engineered Cast Heater Features

  • Certified to ATEX, IECEx or CSA standards
  • Certified under EN/IEC 60079-0, 60079-1, 60079-7, 60079-31 and standards per CEC/NEC 500
  • Flameproof IP66 rated terminal enclosure
  • Cellular Glass insulated with stainless steel cladding
  • Maximum design pressure and temperature of 660 barg at up to 400°C
  • Process control and over-temperature protection sensors: RTD Pt100, thermocouple type K or thermostats
  • Wall or floor, vertical or horizontal mounting
  • Multiple heating elements allow for step control; alternatively, solid state relay or thyristor control can be employed
  • Coil materials: stainless steel 316L, duplex S31803, super duplex S32760 (others, including nickel alloys available on request)
  • Process connections available using standard flanged or compression joints
