The tank heater plays a vital role in colder climates or environments where the hydraulic oil temperature may drop below the optimal operating range. The heater helps maintain the oil temperature at a minimum of +15°C to +35°C (depending on chosen option), ensuring consistent viscosity. This prevents oxidation and premature degradation of the oil, which is essential for the performance and reliability of the elevator system.
Another important aspect of the oil heater is its role in protecting the system from condensation. Temperature fluctuations can lead to condensation, which in turn can result in water contaminating the hydraulic fluid. Water in a hydraulic system causes corrosion and significantly reduces the lifespan of many components.
The oil heater prevents such temperature fluctuations, contributing to the long-term protection and operational safety of the elevator system.
The oil heater is designed for tanks with an oil capacity of up to approximately 500 liters.
