OGDEN systems are compactly designed, engineered to be efficient and thoroughly tested to perform to specifications. Located in Edinboro, Pennsylvania, OGDEN's production facility has CNC machine tools, ASME certified welders, paint booth, overhead cranes and all other equipment necessary for the manufacturing and assembly of large Process Heat and Control Systems. Advanced design software and an experienced engineering staff provide extensive technical support including calculations and drawings. All vessels are hydro tested, all components are thoroughly tested to specification, then the entire system is tested under power before shipment. Materials ranging from mild carbon to exotic alloys are often specified.

The selection is based upon temperature, pressure, corrosion considerations, and metallurgical properties. Heat treating for stress relief, passivation, cathodic protection, specialized welding or machining can be provided. Skid mounted heating assemblies are turnkey systems. Heater connections and control wiring are complete. Installation is reduced to offloading, setting the unit in place at the site, and providing process and electrical connections. Extensive experience in control application and in the manufacturing and application of tubular heater products gives OGDEN the capability to design and supply Process Heating Systems for the most difficult and unusual applications imaginable.

TUBULAR ELEMENTS are the most versatile of all electric heating elements, capable of being formed into virtually any configuration to heat liquids, air, gases and surfaces.

PIPE PLUG IMMERSION HEATERS are mounted through tank walls using standard pipe couplings and are available in various sizes, heat capacities and sheath materials for heating oil, water or corrosive solutions. Built-in temperature control and terminal enclosures for special applications are available.

FLANGED IMMERSION HEATERS allows high kilowatt ratings without an increase in length or multiple mountings that would be required in screw plug heaters. Thermowell, housing and gasket are standard, with multiple circuit wiring and terminal enclosures for special applications available.

CIRCULATION HEATERS are compact and efficient, contain a heater, tank and temperature control. Heating capacities from 1.5KW in several watt densities and sheath materials. Applications include fuel oil preheating, closed loop heat transfer systems, steam super heating, air or hot water storage tanks.

MIGHTY-BLADE PROCESS HEATERS has greater surface area than standard round elements, allowing more wattage or lower watt densities. Deep fryers and steam equipment in the food service industry are typical applications, but many industrial processes can be improved using the Mighty-Blade.

OVER-THE-SIDE IMMERSION HEATERS are used in tanks where flanged or screw plug heaters cannot be installed, portability is required or where heaters must be removed for cleaning without emptying the tank.

PROCESS AIR HEATERS Incoloy sheath tubular heaters are mounted in a steel flange and installed in ductwork or an oven wall, providing air temperature up to 750°F/400°C in forced air applications such as recirculating ovens, combustion air preheating and high temperature drying.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS Ogden can also supply specially designed heaters for unique applications, such as resin drying equipment or mold temperature controls.
