1 Standard Hot Rods

Stokes Hot Rods are a type of over the side immersion heaters which have wide applications in Electroplating, Aqua Culture, Fishery, Hatchery, Mechanical Services and many other industries. The elements are ceramic filled incoloy tubes contained within an outer sheath of either stainless steel, titanium or vitrosol glass. Please refer to the Heater solution Guide section of Technical Information to determine the appropriate sheath material.

1.1 VITROSOL

Stokes Vitrosol heaters are made from translucent fused silica which has an extremely low co-efficient of expansion and is inert to most acids. This makes it an ideal choice for the heating of acid . Hence they are used in aqueous acidic solutions such as plating, acid and etc. They are also used in pickling tanks, eg. in Sulphuric acid and Hydrochloric acid pickling. Note: Vitrosol is a form of glass and must not be used in hydrofluoric acid or strong alkaline solutions. Protection from mechanical damage should also be considered. This can be achieved by means of polypropylene guard or PVC in the case of chrome or nitric solutions. Please refer to our Heater Guards section for further information.

1.2 TITANIUM

Stokes Titanium heaters can be used in a wide range of acid and alkaline solutions, but chemical attack can occur in some instances at varying rates, depending on temperature and concentration of the solutions. In electroplating processes such as nickel plating it is advisable to connect the Titanium sheath anodically to prevent .

1.3 STAINLESS STEEL 316

Stokes Stainless steel heaters are ideal for use in phosphating solutions and in solutions with an alkaline or neutral PH value. Certain acidic chemical processes recommend the use of stainless steel tanks but this does not necessarily mean the use of stainless steel heaters. In these instances it is advisable to use Vitrosol heaters due to the chemical attack on stainless steel at the elevated surface temperatures of the heater tube. In plating processes, liquid ammonia must be used, not ammonium chloride, as the chloride will attack the stainless steel sheath.

The following shows the hot rod dimensions, and tank dimensions.

2 Installation

TYPICAL INSTALLATION LEVEL CONTROL HEATERS TEMPERATURE PROBE

COLD ZONE

SOLUTION LEVEL

Fig.4 Typical installation • Minimum Liquid level must be maintained at all times • Max solution temperature not to exceed 65 °C

Where possible it is advisable to install heaters in multiples of 3 in order to keep the phases balanced. It is desirable to locate the temperature probe at a reasonable distance from the heaters in order to obtain accurate control. Solution level must never be allowed to fall below the cold zone of the heater or the heater will fail.

CAUTION

• Stainless Steel Heaters: When using S/ Steel sheathed units, care should be used in preventing high temperatures being transferred up the sheath, otherwise melting of the PVC cap may occur.

• Vitrosol Heaters: When using the Vitrosol heaters extreme care should be used to prevent thermal shock that could cause the sheath to crack. It is important therefore to maintain the correct solution level at all times. This can be controlled automatically by the use of a level control unit used in conjunction with a solenoid operated valve to maintain the solution level, or a safety device to isolate the heaters in the event of rapid loss of solution.

• To improve heat up times it is recommended that the tank be insulated and have a top to reduce temperature losses. • It is recommended to install earth leakage circuit breakers with all quartz heaters, in accordance with local codes.

9 Standard Range of Teflon Hot Rod Heaters

Hot rod Teflon® (PTFE) heaters are manufactured from mineral tubular sheathed elements covered with PTFE sleeving. The PTFE is acid and temperature resistant up to 280°C and is the only heater that can be applied to solutions containing hydrofluoric acid or fluoride forms in chemical heating applications. Hot rod Teflon® heaters are also suitable for other acid solutions and because of the low watts density loading can increase the expected life. Hot rod Teflon® heaters are custom manufactured in various bending configurations and kilowatt ratings to suit your specific requirements. PTFE has a good mechanical strength and does not become brittle.

Note: The element must not operate in sludge deposits that accumulate at the bottom of chemical tanks. Teflon® is a Du Pont® registered name.
