Specialty Flanged Inline Heaters
High-temperature & high-pressure custom process heating solutions for precise and durable performance.
The TUTCO Advantage
The growing demand for efficient engines, reduced emissions, and renewable energy has driven the need for advanced testing and research involving high-temperature, high-pressure gas streams. Tutco SureHeat’s Specialty Flanged Inline (SFI) Heaters provide a reliable solution, offering safe, precise, and durable performance in demanding applications that require high temperatures, high pressures, and low flow rates. Designed to meet specific requirements, SFI heaters are fully customizable, ensuring they deliver tailored, effective heating solutions for your unique needs.
TUTCO SureHeat Specialty Flanged Inline (SFI) heaters offer superior performance over conventional sheathed (“tubular” or “immersion”) style heaters because they are designed specifically for air and inert gas applications, including hydrogen, CO2, steam, and syngas. Our proprietary SERPENTINE™ technology facilitates a very high power watt density creating a compact overall heater design. SFI heaters can be as much as 8-12X smaller than equivalent tubular/immersion designs. (see the diagram below) With this advantage, less space is required. With a faster heat-up and cool-down ramp time SFI electric air heaters are more cost effective to operate. Whether for a research test stand, factory production line, or key component in a product or thermal energy storage system, our Specialty Flanged Inline heater and controls are the right process heating solution for the job.
