A set of 6 custom boilers to heat several 12,000 gallon tanks. The tanks were made fro a thick plastic and could not support a heavyweight boiler. They were also stuck in position and already in use. The warehouse they were kept in had a 15 foot roof clearance. The boilers needed to be lifted and moved into place without moving the tanks.
The boiler needed to be…
- Less than 12 feet tall
- Less than 16″ across
- 10 stainless steel tube loops at least 6 feet tall
- Centered to the tank as much as possible
- Able to be detached and pulled out for maintinance
- Light enough to not collapse the plastic shell of the tank
I designed this boiler, created the CAD model, created the fabrication plan, made the drawings, oversaw the building process, and assisted in installing the boilers into the tanks.
I was able to fit 12 looped tubes into the 16″ perforated cylinder. Which allowed for the tank to be heated more efficiently.
