There are many applications where the temperature of a stream flowing through a pipe or tube run may need to be increased. Gas temperature upstream of pressure regulation, glycol heat trace, and CNG letdown applications are a few examples of where Catco can help.
Catco Pipeline Packs are extremely useful for heating a stream of gas that is flowing through a pipe to protect valves, regulators, chokes, and other equipment. The principle is simple. Catalytic heaters warm the pipe and the pipe warms what flows through it. The ease of use and installation has made them a widely used solution in gas production, compression, transportation, and utilities.
For heavy-duty applications. Uses four 6×24 catalytic heaters. Installation requires a 27″ length of pipe upstream of the regulator. 24,000 BTU/hr. Available in a variety of starting voltages. Multiple units can be applied in series for higher BTU requirements. See data sheet for full specifications.
Catco Instrument Gas Heaters are protecting tens of thousands of pilot operated regulators like Mooney Flowgrid, Fisher EZR, Pietro Fiorentini Aperflux, and more. They can also be used any time there’s a threat of freezing with an instrument gas or instrument air supply. Stainless steel heat exchange tubing passes through an insulated enclosure, and a catalytic heater raises the temperature of the gas or air flowing through it.
Single heat exchangers heat one stream of gas, ideal for a single piece of equipment. The dual heat exchanger is a popular choice for worker/monitor setups and or any time two pieces of equipment are located near one another.
Catco Instrument Gas Heaters offer several options for high-pressure manifolds and include both a regulator and relief valve. Stainless-steel and brass options are available from several top manufacturers.
Only Catco offers the Steady Heat Controller. A hot and cold stream of gas are combined to provide a steady supply of heated gas that stays at a constant 135-140° F regardless of your operating conditions. Traditional thermostats are also available.
The Catco 2600 Series has been the industry standard for decades and continues to work brilliantly in most conditions. The 5000 Series delivers more BTUs to keep you operational in especially harsh conditions and demanding applications.
Do you have a unique installation? A setup with unusual requirements? Working in extreme conditions? Catco has protected tens of thousands of pilot operated regulators, and sometimes the out-of-the-box solution isn’t the right fix. Catco loves working with you to design the exact right solution for your unique requirements. Whatever your situation, we are here to help.
