Vessel Heating/Cooling System Product Specifications

Application . . .
HeetSheet tank heating units are comprised of two sheets 1
of 20-gage, type 304 stainless steel, conforming to ASTM
A240. The stainless steel sheets are continuously seam-
welded together along an outer continuous perimeter with
interrupted seam welds arranged inside the perimeter. The
welded unit is hydraulically inflated creating a waffle style 2
pattern of multiple flow paths avoiding internal blockage
possible with single-flow designs.
For temperatures up to 190C, a factory applied non-
hardening heat transfer compound is applied to the surface
of the HeetSheet unit that contacts the tank wall to eliminate
air gaps and provide high thermal contact.
For temperatures above 190C, Thermons BondTrace
425 heat transfer compound may be applied to the
HeetSheet units in the field just prior to the units being
attached to the tank wall.
HeetSheet units are available in multiple sizes and are rolled to
conform to the radius of the tank. Stainless steel tubing inlet Construction . . .
and outlet nozzles are provided for steam or other heating or 1 12 mm Inlet and Outlet Media Connections
cooling media. A simple tubing union compression type fitting 2 Type 304 Stainless Steel Waffle Pattern Panel
is used to attach the inlet and outlet tubes to ThermoTube

pre-insulated leads (supply tubing) and tails (return tubing).

Typical Cross Section

stored energy in a HeetSheet unit falls well below the limits set
by the code for certification as defined by the following three
volume and pressure points:
0.14 m3 and 1720 kPa
0.08 m3 and 2410 kPa
0.04 m3 and 4140 kPa
(See Product Configuration table on reverse side for
internal volume of HeetSheet units.)
HeetSheet units are designed and fabricated in accordance
with the requirements of ASME Section VIII Div 1 Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code but are not inspected and stamped.
However, ASME inspection and stamping is available as an
option for all HeetSheet sizes upon request.
Benefits . . .
Each installation is based on known and
predictable heat transfer coefficients
Factory applied non-hardening heat transfer
compound provides high heat transfer rates
Requires only 1/2 to 1/3 the heating surface
area of plate-type coils for like applications
Light weight, simplified attachment methods
and factory applied heat transfer compound
combine to permit quick installation.
Used for both heating or cooling applications
No cross contamination of heating media and
process fluid

Notes . . .
1. Connections between the steam and condensate headers and the HeetSheet may be accomplished with ThermoTube
preinsulated tubing. ThermoTube is available in a variety of configurations to meet the requirements of the application. 60 mm
For information on ThermoTube preinsulated tubing, refer to Form TSP0009U.
