Heating of tank washing system

The butterworth heaters feed fixed and mobile washing machines for cargo tank cleaning. The operation is usually designed based on maximum utilisation of the heating system.

The tank cleaning heater is manufactured as a pressure vessel acc. to UVV and VBG 17 specifications. The construction and water pressure tests are subject to the different class acceptance. The DIN and AD specifications will be observed when manufactured. The tank cleaning heater is fitted with a tube bundle – easy to dismantle.

While erecting, arrangements for extracting the tube bundle (e. g. for cleaning) have to be considered. The tank cleaning heater is fitted with all necessary connections (e.g. water, hot-oil). By a special welding procedure, the tube bundle is welded onto the plate. This guarantees a tight seal when using heat carrier oil as heat medium.
