Space-Saving HotCat
Pipeline Heaters are the Efficient, Catalytic
Alternative to Water
Bath Devices 

They are ideal:

• for Town Border Stations (TBS) and

• wherever precise, temperature
  control is needed – and

• wherever space is at a premium!

HotCat is the Ultimate in
Efficient Freeze Protection
for Pipelines and
Downstream Regulators

HotCat pipeline heaters use multiple infrared
heaters, each of which applies a precise amount
of heat directly to the custom-engineered
heat exchanger.  The pipeline heaters
employ greater surface area by enlarging pipe
diameter in the heat exchanger. This maximizes
heat  transfer while slowing gas flow.  The result
is longest-possible retention time – and most
efficient transfer of heat energy to the gas.

Space-Saving HotCat
Pipeline Heaters Offer
Manual or Automated
Operation

Automated HotCat units provide computerized
control over ramp-up, temperature and shut-down.
HotCat integrates easily with PCs, PLCs, SCADA
systems and networks. Click Here to view the
key differences between the automated and
manual HotCat systems.

Like larger HotCat systems, small-space HotCat
pipeline heaters can be installed close to
equipment. Where water tube devices require
15’ of clearance outside the Division 1-2 perimeter, 
HotCat can be installed in Class 1, Division 1
or 2, Group D areas without restriction. 

HotCat pipeline heaters are ideal for
use wherever real estate is costly, for
farm taps, and for TBSs (Town Border
Stations*.) The small space HotCat fits
your space and budget like no water
tube device!

Installs Faster than
Any Water Bath System

Cut, flange, slide and bolt. That’s all you need
for a successful installation!  Set-up is quick,
because the unit is ready to flange. There's NO
more work to do.

Did we also mention how quiet it is? 
No water tube means there's no noise!

End the “Glycol Haul!”

HotCat pipeline heaters are the lean, sensible
alternative to glycol/ water bath devices, which
present environmental, maintenance and
safety issues. 

Backed by the Industry’s
Best Warranty

Everything is provided with the skid-mounted
HotCat.  And everything is protected for a full
year. HotCat catalytic heaters are covered by a
comprehensive two-year warranty.

On "small space" HotCats, the distance from
the bottom of the skid to the center of the flange
is 36". The cabinet length is the only dimension
that changes, from 60" long to 120",
in 1 ft. increments.

HotCat pipeline heaters are custom
manufactured for the installation,
and are available in manual or fully
automated models.
