Bayonet Immersion Heaters Designed for Maximum Efficiency
Enerquip’s bayonet immersion heaters are an efficient way to heat, cool, or control the temperature of an entire tank of contents. Unlike shell-and-tube heat exchangers or suction heaters, which heat the product as it moves through a system, these heaters work directly within the tank. Bayonet heaters are equipped with a tube sheet, tube bundle, and bonnet with utility connections. The tube bundle is fully immersed in the tank’s product, maximizing heating efficiency and performance.
Designed for durability with either carbon steel, stainless steel, or higher alloys, Enerquip’s bayonet heaters handle harsh conditions—including high temperatures, corrosive materials, and heavy-duty usage. Their simple design offers easy maintenance and inexpensive installation. To install, bayonet heaters are simply inserted directly into the tank through a flange. With a simple utility hookup, they’re ready to go.

Bare or Finned Tube Bayonet Heater Applications
Enerquip’s bayonet immersion heaters are available with either traditional bare tubes or helically wound fins, which provide a much larger surface area for enhanced heat transfer. These heaters are widely used in industries such as tank terminals, chemical processing, and oil and gas production, where they operate effectively at elevated temperatures.
Here are a few of their most common applications:
Chemical Processing: Our bayonet heaters are widely used in chemical processing applications to heat liquids, such as acids, solvents, and other corrosive materials.
Oil & Gas: In the oil and gas industry, our bayonet heaters are used to heat storage tanks and pipeline transfer stations.
Asphalt: Bayonet heaters are widely used in the asphalt industry for the heating of bitumen, which is a highly viscous, semi-solid form of petroleum.
Food & Beverage: Bayonet heaters are also used in the food and beverage industry to heat and cool liquid products, such as dairy products, sauces, and beverages.
Pharmaceutical: In the pharmaceutical industry, our bayonet heaters are used to heat tanks containing various chemicals, including active ingredients, solvents, and other raw materials.
Water Treatment: Our bayonet heaters are used in water treatment applications to heat water or chemicals used in the treatment process. They can also be used in colder climates to keep open top water tanks from freezing.
Power Generation: Bayonet heaters are also used in power generation applications to heat water or generate steam used in power plants.
