The Patented Thermaflow Heating System for your tank heating needs
(Sulfuric Acid, Rinse water, Zinc Ammonium chloride and Caustic)

Plastic Welding & Fabrication, LTD. (PWF) is proud to present information to you about the THERMAFLOW HEATING SYSTEM.

The Thermaflow Heating System was designed for galvanizers and built to save you money. 90% of the available heat is put directly into the tank where you want it. With this system, you have no more Boilers or heat exchange coils.

The Thermaflow uses air and gas fired into the top of a carbon tube which then releases the exhausting products of combustion into the liquid bath.

This process causes thousands of bubbles to rise up through the liquid, releasing virtually all of its heat along the way. These rapidly rising bubbles are channeled through the uniquely designed housing in such a way as to draw a flow of liquid from the bottom of the tank through the heater, creating a heat transfer efficiency of 90% plus!

The heater is controlled and operated from a control panel that can be placed in a convenient location. Start-up is as easy as turning a switch and it is continually monitored to assure proper functioning.

Models are available to accommodate tank sizes of a few hundred gallons to over 30,000 gallons. They are constructed of rugged thermoplastic and carbon, both of which are inert in acid and preflux.

In the following pages you will find a diagram of the orientation of the Thermaflow in your tank and comparisons of the Heating System to Boilers and Carbon Sticks.

Plastic Welding & Fabrication, LTD is the only licensed manufacturer & distributor of the Thermaflow Heating System. All technology for this submerged combustion heating system is protected under United States patent laws.View copy of patent here.

Thermaflow vs. Carbon Stick

Carbon sticks have been in the hot dip galvanizing industry for over 30 years. They are made of carbon, utilize submerged combustion, and with the exception of the bottom cap, hold up very well in the corrosive environment. The thermaflow heaters are constructed of carbon as well, and this again is because carbon is inert to acid and preflux, handles extremely high temperatures.

Thermaflow vs. Boiler

Boilers have been in the hot dip galvanizing industry for at least a hundred years. They are typically fired with natural gas, and transfer steam or hot water through pipes to heat exchangers submerged in the tanks to be heated. The Thermaflow heating system also uses natural gas, and is submerged in the tanks to facilitate transfer of heat to the liquid baths as well.
