Frame Lube Oil Heaters
Up to two (2) bayonet style immersion
heaters can be installed in Ariel frames. The installation dimensions
for the heaters are contained in the frame outline drawing notes.
The watt density of the oil heaters
must be low enough to avoid “coking” the crankcase oil, 15 watts per square
inch maximum. The
oil heater should be interlocked with the compressor instrumentation panel
to function only when an oil circulation pump is operating. Refer
to the Ariel Packager's Standards Section 6.0 for recommendations on heater
watt density
