PRODUCT OBJECTIVE: To maintain uniform, consistent temperature of vessel contents in order to: protect the chemical from freezing or degradation, maintain flow, keep product in solution, or enable efficient chemical use in production at an optimum performance temperature. Accomplished by the proper application of an appropriate amount of heat energy, in combination with adequate insulation designed to maintain temperature equilibrium. The completed system should be adequate to counteract the natural heat loss which occurs in any vessel which is standing in an environment having a lower ambient temperature than the vessel contents.

Each system is custom designed for the specific application.
the following information is needed in order to provide an accurately designed system:
• Tank Vessel Installation Characteristics
• Size & Capacity of Vessel
• Desired Maintenance Temperature
• Lowest Expected Ambient Temperature
• Type of Insulation
• Thickness of Selected Insulation
• Number and Size of any hatches and fittings on the tank which cannot be insulated.

Taking all of the above factors into account a Thermolar system will be designed to maintain your desired temperature.

Note that this system is designed to maintain the desired temperature not to elevate the vessel contents to a desired temperature, which would require several multiples of the maintenance wattage. For this reason, the vessel contents should arrive in the vessel (fill temperature) at or slightly above the desired temperature in order to deliver maximum energy efficiency.
