Bayonet Immersion Heaters

Unlike our shell and tube exchangers and suction heaters, which are designed to heat liquids as they are pumped through the exchanger, bayonet immersion heaters are designed to efficiently heat entire tanks of fluid. With our bayonet immersion heaters, the tube bundle is completely immersed in the tank, and the heating coil is directly exposed to the fluid for maximum heating efficiency.

Enerquip’s bayonet heaters are easy to install and take up no extra space. As immersion heaters, they’re inserted directly into the liquid through a tank flange, resulting in space and energy efficiency. Plus, with only a utility hookup needed for installation, you’ll save time and money on installation costs.

Our bayonet style tank heaters come equipped with a tubesheet, tube bundle, and a bonnet with utility connections. They’re easy to remove for cleaning and inspection, making maintenance a breeze. And, with pre-existing flanges and manways on your tank, installation is a snap.

Enerquip’s bayonet heaters are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions, including high temperatures, corrosive materials, and heavy-duty use. Our bayonet heaters are constructed from high-quality materials and are built to last, ensuring reliable and efficient heating.

Bare or Finned Tubes

Enerquip’s bayonet immersion heaters can be built with traditional bare tubes or with helically wound fins. When viscosity is not a concern, the fins create significantly more surface area resulting in greater heat transfer and efficiency.

Finned pipe bayonet heaters are commonly used in tank terminals, chemical processing, and oil and gas production. They are typically designed to operate at high temperatures and pressures, and can be customized to meet the specific needs of a particular application, including common ones below.
