Hazardous-Area Rated Gas Cylinder Warmer - CSA Class I, Division 1 (HCW)
$2,470.00
SKU:HCW15431501
BriskHeat HCW series Hazardous-Area Rated Ga Cylinder Warmers are engineered to wrap completely around industrial metal tanks to maintain optimal process temperatures in hazardous locations. By applying uniform thermal energy across the entire cylinder body, these warmers create internal convection currents that increase internal pressure, prevent gas condensation, and eliminate product waste by keeping gases entirely in the vapor phase.
- Intelligent Self-Regulating Element: Features an advanced self-regulating heating core that automatically adjusts its heat output based on ambient conditions, ensuring reliable, safe thermal control without the need for an external temperature controller.
- Full-Wrap Thermal Isolation: Built with a 100% full-coverage wrap-around blanket design lined with premium fiberglass insulation to maximize thermal efficiency and prevent heat from dissipating into the air.
- Application Environment: CSA Approved for CID1 hazardous locations.
- Cylinder Compatibility: Engineered to fit standard compressed industrial gas cylinders (including K-size, T-size, and other standard formats).

Catalog/Specifications Sheet
Q: How do gas cylinder warmers improve process control?
A: Gas Cylinder Warmers improve process control and reduce wasted condensed gas by creating a convection current and increasing the pressure inside the cylinder.
Q: What types of gases benefit from using a Gas Cylinder Warmer?
A: Common gases include:
- SF6
- Propane
- Nitrogen
- Oxygen
- BCI3
- WF6
- HF
Q: Do the GCW/HCW Gas Cylinder Warmers require a temperature controller?
A: The GCW/HCW Gas Cylinder Warmers are built with a self-regulating heating element, no additional temperature control is required.
Q: Are cylinder warmers plug-and-play?
A: The 120V GCW models include a plug, but all other models have ferrule-crimped leads and will require plug installation.
