Designed to eliminate fuel gelling in outdoor storage tanks.
Our heaters are designed for direct heating. This means that the heater is in direct contact with the oil.
Model TH tank heaters are designed to prevent fuel oils from gelling in outdoor storage tanks. These heaters are inserted through any available tank top opening that can accommodate or be reduced to 1/2 NPT thread. This model is used primarily in tanks that draw oil from the bottom or side of the tank rather than from the tank top. The heater is installed as close as possible to the oil outlet.
Model DTH tank heaters are also designed to prevent fuel oils from gelling in outdoor storage tanks. Unlike TH heaters, these heaters consist of an outer draw tube, the tube that extends down into the tank to draw oil out by pumping from the top. This model heats the oil in the draw tube so the first oil out is the warmest. When the oil isn't being pumped it acts as a standard tank heater.
Biofuels are a great innovation for home heating and are on the rise. A blend of 5 to 20 percent Biofuel is common today and some companies are even pushing to 40%. While these heating oils are great they do come with some problems. The pour point or, the temperature in which they stop flowing is much higher than traditional No. 2 fuel oil or kerosene. Our tank heaters are designed to work with even the highest blends of biofuel.
Model HT tank heaters are also designed to prevent fuel oils from gelling in outdoor storage tanks; however, they are also used in waste vegetable oil, waste motor oil, DEF and more. These heaters have a 90 degree bend at the bottom to prevent a low tank level from exposing the heater element. Straight tubes are available.
