Nathan Ehresman of Valin Corporation walks through the basics of tank heating. There are two main applications when it comes to tank heating- maintaining temperature or increasing temperature. Temperature maintenance is typically accomplished via external means like heat trace or with insulating blankets wrapped around the tank. In order to increase the temperature, an immersion heater is often used and this video showcases the various types of immersion heaters, including flange, screw plug, over the side, and bayonet styles.
