Hi,
I am working on a redisign of a system used to heat JP5 to ca. 310F for testing purposes. The JP5 is recirculated, and always leaves the test area cool. Heating presently is done in one pass using a tube-and-shell heat exchanger and Dowtherm. The system has been respecified using CastX heaters set up to do one-pass heating electrically. We are looking to heat more efficiently and reduce coking problems. The heaters are in a Class 1 Div 1 space, but are rated at NEMA 12. Flow is 1 - 10 gpm at 1500 psi maximum. Any thoughts or advice?
