Industrial Tubular Heaters

SWD industrial tubular heaters are the ‘tough guys’ of the BN Thermic heater range. Available with outputs from 500W to 4kW, industrial tubular heaters consist of a ceramic core mounted in a welded stainless steel tube with stainless steel cooling fins. The robust terminal box is IP rated and manufactured from glass fibre. Heaters are available with or without built-in thermostat and all SWD industrial tubular heaters come with stainless steel brackets for wall or floor mounting.

Industrial Kiosks and Enclosures

Industrial kiosks and enclosures house important and vulnerable equipment which is often adversely affected by low temperatures and moisture. In this situation the choice of heater is critical. BN Thermic customers depend on reliable SWD industrial tubular heaters to perform reliably year after year.

For areas where personnel can access the heaters, optional safety guards are available.

Corrosive Environments

Installations such as chemical works and water treatment plants often require heaters that can withstand the presence of corrosive liquids and vapours. The SWD industrial tubular heater’s stainless steel and glass fibre construction means that it has a far greater resistance to corrosion than standard industrial heaters. The SWD’s IP66/67 rating also allows heaters to be installed in areas requiring ‘hose down’ washing.

For hazardous areas, our ATEX tubular heater will be more suitable.

The optional guards are always recommended when personnel have access to the heaters

Industrial Kiosks FAQs

Are standard panel heaters suitable for industrial kiosks?

It is certainly true that a commercial panel heater or a group of panel heaters can provide the necessary kW output to maintain the required temperature in an industrial kiosk or GRP enclosure. However, we would never recommend commercial grade heaters for this application.

Heaters in industrial kiosks often perform a significant role in ensuring the performance of vital and valuable equipment. This is why BN Thermic recommends industrial finned tubular heaters.

These heaters are manufactured to the very highest standard and individually tested. They are designed for 24/7 operation and are physically robust with a stainless steel construction. In addition they are IP66 rated making them both water and dust resistant.

How can I control a heater in an industrial kiosk?

BN Thermic’s SWD range of industrial finned tubular heaters are widely used in industrial kiosks and GRP enclosures. Accurate temperature control is obviously vital and this can either be provided by selecting a heater with a built-in thermostat or by using a remote mounted device such as the PROSTAT3.

For a more flexible approach a thermostat such as the PROSTSAT4 can be used. This thermostat has two adjustable settings; a low (default) setting (perhaps 5°C) and a high setting (perhaps 15°C). The high setting can be selected for a pre-programmed time period by pressing a button on the thermostat’s front panel. Once the pre-programmed time period has elapsed, the thermostat will revert to the low setting. This type of control can be useful when there is an occasional need for people to work in an enclosure.

BN Thermic recommends direct heating systems such as pew heaters or quartz halogen heaters. These systems heat people directly rather than the surrounding air, reducing the warm-up period to as little as ten to fifteen minutes. The resulting reduction in running costs is obvious.

Water Treatment Plants FAQs

My water treatment plant heaters continuously fail – what can I do?

Standard industrial and commercial heaters are generally manufactured from mild steel which is protected by powder coated paint. In a corrosive environment this approach is not satisfactory. Any breach of the paint finish will allow the corrosive agent to access the mild steel and corrosion will spread rapidly below the paint.

BN Thermic’s range of industrial finned tubular heaters, on the other hand, has been specifically designed for a corrosive environment. All exposed metal surfaces are stainless steel and the electrical terminal enclosure is manufactured from tough glass-fibre.
