Electrical heating iso tank

Types of electrical heating ISO tanks

The electrical heating ISO tank, also called the electric heating intermodal tank container, is a special electric heating device system installed in the chemical tank container that is compatible with standard intermodal containers. The electrical heating iso tanks can be fully functional and integrated with available electricity in any part of the world to supply heating for cargoes in transit or storage facilities.

Electrical heating ISO tanks generally come in two major types:

• Fixed Conical Heating Elements ISO Tanks

  The dismountable tank heater consists of a fixed heating ISO tank and a detachable heating element container. When not in use, the service provider can remove the heating element container, making it more convenient for storage and transportation. The detachable heating element container allows for easier maintenance and repair. If the heating element breaks or fails, the service provider can replace or repair it without requiring overall repairs to the tank heater. This design feature contributes to a longer lifespan for the heater.

• Fixed Disc Heating Elements ISO Tanks

  ISO tank containers with disc heating elements are equipped with fixed disc heating elements. These fixed discs serve as the heating source for the entire container, ensuring that the contents inside are heated evenly from all directions. Additionally, many ISO tanks currently include thermal insulation to preserve heat effectively. As a result, even if the surrounding temperature is low, the ISO tank can maintain a high temperature inside, thereby achieving a better heating effect.

Specifications and Maintenance

Specifications

• Length: Electrical heating iso tanks' lengths vary according to the cargo volume. An average figure is around 10 to 15 meters.
• Diameter: As per cargo volume, the diameter also varies. Typically, the diameter is 2.4 meters for 20-foot tanks and 2.6 meters for 40-foot ones.
• Volume: The volume corresponds to the dimension of the iso tank. Common voluminous data includes:
  • 20-foot iso tanks: 18,000 liters
  • 40-foot standard iso tanks: 25,000 liters
  • 40-foot high cube iso tanks: 30,000 liters
• Vacuum: For the non-heated content that should be stored at low temperature, such as liquid nitrogen or argon, etc., an electrical heating iso tank will need a vacuum condition to insulate the tank from outside temperature influence.
• Pressure: An electrical heating iso tank can carry goods under high pressure or standard pressure according to the cargo requirements.

Besides the above, many configurations can be amended according to customers' demands, such as a cleaning system, customized valves, and stainless steel customized materials.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential. Use non-abrasive detergents to prevent damage to the tank.
• Avoid corrosion: Apply anti-corrosion agents to the tank’s external parts, especially those frequently exposed to moist or salty environments.
• Regular inspections: This includes checking the electrical heating system, the inox tank itself, anti-corrosion coating, gaskets and seals, valves, gauges and piping, etc. Look for damages, leaks or any unusual conditions and solve any issues found promptly.
• Electrical Systems: Pay attention to the electrical heating system. Ensure the power supply works well and that there aren't any loose wires or damages. Regularly check heating elements to ensure uniform heat distribution and replace them if they have burns or damages.
• Anti-rust treatment: For the inox material itself, conduct vacuum treatment or rust-proofing process on time to prolong the iso tank's life span and preserve its performance.

Scenarios in which electrical heating iso tanks are used

The electrical heating iso tank is a specialized type of intermodal container. It employs electric heating to keep goods in a desirable state during transportation or storage.

• Food & Beverage Industry

  Electrical ISO tanks are widely used in the food and beverage industry. For instance, they are used to transport liquids like wine, syrup, juice, milk, and edible oil that should be maintained at a constant temperature. Specific foods, temperature, and humidity are essential to prevent the growth of bacteria. Therefore, electric ISO tanks are a suitable transportation solution for this industry. They can ensure that food and beverages arrive fresh and wholesome.

• Pharmaceutical Industry

  In the pharmaceutical industry, electric heating ISO tanks play a crucial role in transporting temperature-sensitive medications. These could be liquid drugs, chemical compounds, or even vaccines. For instance, vaccines need to be preserved within a specific temperature range to safeguard their efficacy. Not just for pharmaceuticals, but chemicals like pesticides and fertilizers must be transported in a way that maintains their quality. Electric heating ISO tanks can offer the consistent temperature control that is required for these industries.

• Petroleum and Chemical Industry

  Electric heating ISO tanks are used to transport petroleum products like diesel, gasoline, and kerosene, as well as various chemicals. They guarantee that the transportation procedure keeps the stability and purity of the products. Moreover, electric heating ISO tanks can assist in preventing issues like low temperatures that might arise during winter seasons.

• Logistics and Transportation Industry

  Many logistics and freight service providers employ electric heating ISO tanks. They utilize these tanks to meet the different temperature and humidity needs of their customers. Be it the food industry or the chemical industry. The electric heating ISO tank ensures a safe and efficient transportation solution.

How to choose electrical heating iso tanks

When buying an electric heating ISO tank, the following factors should be considered to make the purchasing process easier.

• Specification and capacity

  Capacity and specification of an electrical heating ISO tank refers to the size and amount of cargo that can be held in the tank. By looking at the needs of the business and the kinds of products that will be transported, buyers can determine which capacity and specification will suit their situation.

• Quality and safety features

  The quality of an ISO tank and its safety features are important for the safe and smooth operation of the cargo supply chain. When purchasing, buyers should choose tanks that have good quality construction materials and safety features like leak-proof design, pressure control system and monitoring devices. This will ensure the durability and safety of the tank during use.

• Heating system compatibility

  Electrical heating ISO tanks are equipped with different types of heating systems, such as electric heating pillows or heating tapes. Buyers should ensure that the tank's heating system is compatible with their products and transportation methods to ensure efficient heating during use.

• Customizable options

  Some buyers may need to customize specific features or configurations for their business, such as special insulation materials or additional equipment. When purchasing, buyers should choose a supplier that can meet their customization needs to ensure that the tank will fully meet their business requirements.

• Supplier selection

  When purchasing an electric heating ISO tank, the choice of supplier is very important. Buyers should choose a reputable supplier that has good after-sales service and support. To ensure that any problems that arise during use can be resolved quickly and effectively. In addition, buyers can refer to suppliers' customer reviews andケース studyto better understand suppliers'
