Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FLEXOTHERM from 3G Electric.
What IP rating do FLEXOTHERM heaters typically have, and why is it important?
FLEXOTHERM heaters, including IBC tote blankets and propane tank wraps, are rated IP66. This means they are dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, making them suitable for outdoor use in rain or washdown environments. The IP66 rating ensures reliable operation in industrial settings where exposure to moisture or debris is common, reducing the risk of electrical failure.
Can FLEXOTHERM IBC tote heaters be used with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) containers?
Yes, specific FLEXOTHERM models are designed for DEF IBC totes. For example, SKU 819Y29 (MPN HVB-B-12-412-226-056-00-4-58) is rated for 330-gallon DEF totes at 230V AC. These heaters maintain fluid temperature to prevent crystallization, with a set-point range of 122°F to 136°F. Always verify the container type and capacity against the model specifications.
What voltage options are available for FLEXOTHERM tank heater wraps?
FLEXOTHERM offers both 115V AC and 230V AC models. For propane tank wraps, the 115V version (e.g., SKU 819Y56) draws 0.88 A and is rated for 30 lb tanks, while the 230V version (e.g., SKU 819Y55) draws 0.52 A for 20 lb tanks. Voltage selection depends on site electrical infrastructure; both options maintain a 90°F set-point.
How do I select the correct FLEXOTHERM heater for a 275-gallon IBC tote?
FLEXOTHERM offers multiple models for 275-gallon IBC totes, such as SKU 819Y24 (115V, 842.77 W, 158°F) and SKU 819Y20 (115V, 842.77 W, 136°F). Choose based on desired temperature set-point and voltage. All 275-gallon models are IP66 rated and designed for standard IBC totes. Confirm the container type (e.g., DEF vs. general) to ensure compatibility.
Are FLEXOTHERM heaters suitable for outdoor use in cold climates?
Yes, FLEXOTHERM heaters are rated IP66 and can be used outdoors. Models like the IBC tote blankets (e.g., SKU 819Y28) are specified for indoor/outdoor environments. They maintain fluid temperatures above freezing, with set-points up to 158°F. However, ensure the heater is properly secured and the electrical supply is protected from direct water exposure.
