Fire Suppression Tank Heating
Indeeco has helped with many different heating challenges in their history. Here is a case study written by Jonathan Newton about fire suppression tank heating.
The Challenge
Keep a large tank of water above freezing, so it is available at a moment’s notice. The sizing needed to take into account the fact that the tank would be insulated and installed in Oklahoma. Additionally, it needed to be sized according to the NFPA-22, which sets all the guidelines for water tank and storage applications.
The Solution
The solution was a 781-series pre-engineered tank heater that would be sized via Indeeco’s proprietary tank heater sizing application and according to the NFPA-22 temperature maps. The 781-series heater is a complete all-in-one package that includes; the heater, controls, and enclosure to provide a plug and play heater that is sized for the individual application.
The Benefits
Here is a list of the benefits of using this tank heater:
The heater is mounted to the tank by one of three methods: ANSI flange mount, Indeeco adapter mount, or with a custom rectangular flange.
Heating elements are installed in 3″ NPS pipes of sufficient wall thickness to prevent the pipe from distorting from the generated heat. Multiple pipes can be provided as required.
Built on pre-wired contactor control panel with digital thermostat and high limit protection.
Heating element can easily be replaced without draining the tank.∙
The flexible heating element design allows for clearance of only 48″ on all immersed lengths.

Indeeco Storage Tank Heaters are an effective way to heat large storage tanks containing a variety of liquids both in non-hazardous and hazardous locations. In large applications where multiple pipes are required, non-individually controlled storage tank heaters provide a cost effective alternative.
