LH Series Natural Gas Line Heater
Brand: Thermon Cata-Dyne™The Cata‑Dyne™ LH Line Heater prevents equipment freezing and possible hydrate formation during pressure reduction at natural gas regulating sites.
The LH Line Heater heats the gas stream using infrared radiant heat transfer, eliminating the use of burners, glycol fluid and high maintenance heat exchange systems. It is also used to condition fuel gas for natural gas fired turbines or engines, and for heating gas and diluent streams in a variety of process applications. Custom engineered units for nonstandard applications are available.
The Cata‑Dyne™ LH Line Heater's use of direct infrared heat transfer eliminates the need for traditional gas fired glycol bath systems. The elimination of glycol based heat transfer systems results in a more environmentally favourable installation.
High field maintenance and operating costs are all eliminated by the Cata‑Dyne™ LH Line Heater.
Features- Infrared radiant energy provided by the silent Cata‑Dyne™ WX Gas Catalytic Heater is NOx free providing the cleanest and quietest heating system available.
- The flanged multi-pass coil heat exchanger is designed and built to the ASME B31.3 Code for Process Piping with Canadian Registration Number.
- Enclosures feature galvanized steel structures with stainless-steel cladding, limiting corrosion and maintenance.
- Control options from manual stop/start with and without temperature control to remote start/stop and automated feedback pneumatic or electric temperature control.
- Automatic units feature engineered control panels with PLC control systems.
- Infrared heat is accurately controlled to meet process temperature requirements while economizing operating costs.
- Standard high temperature shutdowns, optional low flow shutdowns available.
- Fuel gas system designed and built in accordance with CSA/Can – B149.1 and NFPA 54.
- Electrical system designed and built in accordance with CSA/Can – C22.2 and NEC (NFPA 70).
- Catalytic heaters conform to ANSI Z83.20a-2010/ CSA 2.34a-2010 standard for Gas-Fired Low Intensity Heaters and are CSA and FM certified for use in Class I, Division 1 or 2, Group D hazardous locations.
