Benefits
Ease of Maintenance, Inspection & Cleaning
The small footprint allows for more access to tank floor for inspections.
In the case of removing the heating elements, BROWN FINTUBE® tank heaters are more easily removed and replaced.
Fouling Mitigation
The convective currents created by the heaters in the tank help keep more particles suspended in the fluid, rather than settling.
Lower Capital Cost
Extended fin surface is less expensive than equivalent bare surface.
Lighter weight and smaller size requires less support.
Easy installation and less field welding than bare coils.
Reduced Heating Costs
BROWN FINTUBE® finned tank heating coils can reduce the fuel cost associated with heating systems.
Combining multiple heater types can result in a more efficient heating process, ultimately saving money.
