News12 October 2007Circulation Heaters from Grimwood HeatingGrimwood Heating has extended their signature range of circulation heaters for safe and hazardous areas. The range includes circulation heaters from as small as 1kW in a 25DN pipe through to units over 600kW in 400DN pressure vessels fully compliant with AS1210 and with the electrical aspects certified as meeting the requirements of the IECEx scheme for potentially explosive atmospheres. Grimwood Heating is unique amongst Australian manufacturers of circulation heaters in that they can provide the product and application engineering expertise to optimize the design for each application. This ensures customers are provided with products meeting their needs. Whether it is heating CIP solutions for a water treatment plant, anticrystalisation heaters for caustic storage, or fuel gas heaters for natural gas pipelines, Grimwood Heating has the expertise to engineer the circulation heater, inline heater or pipeline heater for the application. Grimwood views every application of a circulation heater, inline heater or pipeline heater as unique, and Grimwood will not try and force the customer to pick a unit from the standard catalogue. Grimwood will review the process conditions and engineer a heater for those conditions. The factors which influence the design of the heater include the flow rate, density, viscosity, thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the fluid. 
By designing and manufacturing in Australia, Grimwood reduces lead times and improves the flow of information to ensure the product is delivered on time. Recently an IECEx certified Hazardous Area unit was manufactured and delivered to Malaysia within three weeks of the order being placed after a northern hemisphere manufacturer failed to deliver 20 weeks after order placement. With distributors in every state, a Grimwood circulation heater is easily accessible for every industry requiring a quality solution to their process heating application. 8 October 2007Grimwood Heating appoints New Zealand DistributorWell known New Zealand element and control distributor Smiths Elements and Controls has been appointed the New Zealand distributor for Grimwood Heating.

Only available from your local Grimwood stockist25 August 2006IECEx Hazardous Area Drum Heater from Grimwood The outstanding feature of the LMK Thermosafe range is the IECEx certified induction drum heater for use in hazardous areas. This is the first time drum heater users have the opportunity to meet world’s best practice in hazardous area protection. Designed to heat 205 litre drums or smaller steel vessels. Thermosafe is a single induction coil, wholly encapsulated in a cylinder made from a glass reinforced resin specifically developed for chemical plant. The cylinder is simply placed over the drum. The complete absence of hot elements and the encapsulation of all electrical components enables unattended use, overnight if required. Thermosafe can even be used in hazardous areas Zones 1 and 2, as the heater is unique in possessing full IECEx and BASEEFA/ATEX certification. Uniform heating without hot spots reduces the risk of product degradation. Accidental spillage does not present a fire hazard and personnel can work comfortably in close proximity. Together, these features allow material to be heated at point of use, thus eliminating the transport of hot drums Grimwood Managing Director, Brian Walkington, said “We will continue to extend the product range. This will provide customers with the equipment that they need, to do the things they need to do.” 20 July 2006Electronic Thermostats from GrimwoodGrimwood Heating has launched the Eliwell range of electronic
thermostats.

The 2.4kW units fit through a standard 210 litre drum nozzle and are thermostatically controlled. The units are designed with low watts density to ensure that the oils being heated are not damaged by excessive temperatures due to localized overheating adjacent to the element sheath. They can also be used for heating other materials such as waxes, paraffin and resins. Grimwood Managing Director, Brian Walkington, said “We will continue to extend the product range. This will provide customers with the equipment that they need, to do the things they need to do.” 10 May 2006Grimwood Extends the Range of their popular Do-it-yourself tubular elementsGrimwood Heating Pty Ltd has extended their range of DIY elements to include higher operating temperature designs. These higher operating temperatures are made possible by the use of Nicrofer 7216 high temperature alloy materials from ThyssenKrupp VDM.
DIY elements are annealed straight length elements designed for on-site bending and are ideal for custom built work, short runs and repairs to existing equipment. They are available with brazed on bushes, or users can elect to use separate brass compression bushes. Grimwood Managing Director, Brian Walkington, said “We will continue to extend the product range. This will provide customers with the equipment that they need, to do the things they need to do.” 27 March 2006Grimwood Extends the Range of Withdrawable Immersion HeatersGrimwood Heating Pty Ltd has extended their range of withdrawable heaters to include higher Watts density designs. These higher Watts densities are made possible by the use of Nicrofer 7216 high temperature alloy materials from ThyssenKrupp VDM, heat treatment of the immersion tube and the application of Computational Fluid Dynamcis, Statistical Thermodynamics and Finite Element Analysis to better understand the heat transfer process. Withdrawable heaters are typically used in applications where it is necessary to limit the temperature to which the heated fluid is exposed. This is important in heating oils, polymers, heat transfer fluids, food and in fermentation processes. Withdrawable heaters are also used where it is essential to be able to remove the element without emptying the tank, such as on shipboard tanks, sullage tanks and waste water treatment applications. Grimwood Managing Director, Brian Walkington, said “We will continue to extend the product range. This will provide customers in the region with the equipment that they need, to do the things they need to do.”
8 March 2006Grimwood Heating Extends the Range of IECEx Certified Flameproof HeatersGrimwood Heating Pty Ltd has extended their range of certified flameproof flanged immersion heaters. The extension of the range, to include 350NB and 150NB sizes, provides increased opportunities for users to ensure their installations are IECEx compliant. The IECEx scheme for equipment for use in explosive atmospheres currently operates in many countries including Australia and New Zealand and will become the global standard as individual countries phase out national standards, which can represent barriers to international trade.
Grimwood Managing Director, Brian Walkington, said “We will continue to extend the product range. This will provide customers in the region with the equipment certified for explosive atmospheres that they need to protect their people, assets and neighbours.” 16 August 2005Grimwood Heating Gains IECEx CertificationAt last Australian industry now has a local choice when it comes to ensuring that their hazardous area electrical heating requirements are met. Until now the only choice has been to import equipment from the UK, or to continue using equipment not fully complying with current requirements. Since completing a management buyout of the Electrolux Element and Tube business in October 2003, the team at Grimwood Heating has worked closely with Simtars and implemented the required quality system to gain IEC certification for the design and manufacture of Ex d heaters.
The benefits of using locally designed and manufactured product fully complying with hazardous area requirements are shorter supply chains and lead times, quicker and clearer communication, and knowing the your dollars are staying in Australia. Grimwood Electrical Products was formed over 50 years ago specialising in the manufacture of industrial electrical heating, after being bought by Email in the 1970s it became absorbed into Email Limited’s Appliance Group, which was acquired by Electrolux Home Products in 2001. Now once again an independent local operation, the organisation has retained the accumulated knowledge and heritage of the original Grimwood. The focus of Grimwood today is on providing customers who value quality with products they can trust on short lead times and with reliable service. Managing Director Brian Walkington recently said “The choice is now easy for people who value quality and doing the job right. Our team at Grimwood can provide the only legitimate local solution for electric heating in hazardous areas.”
