Product catalog summary
Introduction
Many laboratory and industrial processes require a constant flow of gas from pressurized cylinders containing gas in liquid phase. High utilization rates can cause frosting on the cylinder surface, affecting flow rates. LMK Thermosafe Ltd. offers uniform and insulated heating solutions to prevent this, ensuring stability, especially crucial for calibration gases where repeatability is vital. Separate pressure monitoring systems are recommended for health and safety compliance.
Company Background
LMK Thermosafe Ltd. has over 30 years of experience manufacturing robust industrial heaters for both safe and hazardous areas. Their products are manufactured to CE, ATEX/IECEx, UL, and CSA standards in ISO9001 certified factories in the UK.
Product Range
The company offers a range of flexible heating jackets for pressurized gas cylinders, designed for both safe and hazardous 'Ex' areas. They can accommodate various cylinder sizes, including large horizontal cylinders, with options for power and temperature control. The latest ATEX/IECEx patented 'ProxATEX' digital controller provides precise temperature measurement and secure user access.
Product Specifications
For stock 'K' size cylinder flexible heating jackets:
  • Adjustable length: 680-830mm
  • Overall Height: 1050mm
  • Power supply: 110v or 230v (50/60Hz ac)
  • HHG (safe area): 450W with 0-90°C adjustable thermostat
  • IHF/G/T4 (hazardous area): 100W, self-limiting to 30°C above ambient
  • IHF-R/G/T4 (hazardous area): 100W, 0-50°C temperature regulator
  • IHF-R/G/T3 (hazardous area): 285W, 0-85°C temperature regulator
Additional Features
Products are easily fitted with adjustable or fixed internal thermostats. Insulated end caps and heavy-duty PVC covers are available for severe ambient temperatures and outdoor use, respectively.
Installation Example
An outdoor installation example in North America uses C1Z1 heating jackets and controllers. The cylinder is protected from weather by a canopy, suitable for potentially explosive outdoor sites.

Gas Bottle Heating-1

Industrial Gas Cylinder Heating Many laboratory and industrial processes require a constant flow of gas to be delivered from pressurised cylinders containing gas in liquid phase. If there is a high utilisation rate, frosting can occur on the surface of the cylinder and flow rates can be adversely affected. Our uniform and insulated heating solutions can prevent this phenomenon and restore stability to the flow rate. This is particularly important when using calibration gases where repeatability is vital. (Separate pressure monitoring systems should always be in place to meet health and safety requirements.) LMK Thermosafe Ltd. have been manufacturing robust and reliable industrial heaters for safe and hazardous area use for over 30 years. Our standard product range includes a selection of flexible heating jackets for pressurised gas cylinders. These have been designed with a variety of control options for both safe and hazardous “Ex” areas where there is risk of explosion. We manufacture to CE, ATEX/IECEx, UL and CSA standards in our ISO9001 certified factories in the UK. As well as standard flexible heating jackets (detailed below) for the popular “K” sized cylinders, we can also design jackets for most cylinder sizes in both safe and hazardous areas, right up to several thousand litre capacity horizontal cylinders. These can be fitted with a variety of power and temperature control options, including our latest ATEX/IECEx patented “ProxATEX” digital controller, offering precise temperature measurement, multiple heating program adjustment options and user access control using secure NFC cards.

Gas Bottle Heating-2

Example of large “skid based” gas cylinder requiring surface area heating to stabilise flow rates when used on site. Easily fitted, with adjustable thermostat (as shown) or fixed internal thermostat. Insulated end caps available as an option for severe ambient temperatures. Heavy duty pvc covers also available for outdoor use. Outdoor Installation example in North America with C1Z1 heating jackets and controllers Cylinder itself is protected from weather by a canopy, giving sufficient protection to jackets as well. Outdoor site is rated as potentially explosive due to other processes.
