Viking Pump Inc announced that an electric heat option is available on its Universal Seal series of cast iron pumps.
The firm continues to offer its asphalt/bitumen pumps fitted with integral heating jackets available in various combinations — bracket, head, casing, and relief valve. The addition of the electric heat option provides an alternative for heating asphalt and bitumen.
Electric heating offers a number of advantages over steam, heat transfer oils, or electric heat tracing, including:
-
Lower installation costs in remote locations when steam or hot oil is not available or requires long piping runs.
-
Reduced environmental costs by eliminating hot oil leaks.
-
Reduced energy costs with heat source in pump vs external heat tracing.
-
Simplified service by eliminating hot oil or steam pipe connections.
-
Improved safety by eliminating hot oil or steam piping leaks.
Viking also offers a simple and effective temperature control system.
