ELECTRIC HEATING OF TANKS WITH RTF PANELS

RTF FlexiPanel is an independent, high-performance and flexible heating panel designed specifically for use in fiberglass and plastic tanks and containers and in metal tanks and containers containing high viscosity liquids and liquids sensitive to temperature changes. The RTF FlexiPanel panel provides an output power of 1,085 watts per square meter (0.7 watts per square inch) or less and distributes heat evenly over the entire surface of the panel to ensure a stable temperature.1 The low profile flexible design of the panel ensures its quick and easy installation using the mounting kit purchased from Thermon. In order to provide a large number of paths for the passage of electric current, the RTF FlexiPanel panel uses a parallel circuit based on a stamped high-temperature heating element made of alloy. This design eliminates the risk of module burnout, which is typical for heating modules with sequential circuits. The robust design of the RTF FlexiPanel panel includes a rigid metal shell that provides mechanical protection during delivery and installation of the panel. In addition, the heating element of the panel is protected from vibrations and moisture by placing it in a thermally laminated layer of organosilicon rubber, which serves as a sealing gasket and a waterproof seal.
