TMS-MILD-CORROS

Supported Applications

The Omega TMS Series consists of flanged immersion heaters designed specifically for mild corrosive solutions. These units feature premium grade stainless steel (8% Nickel) sheathed heating elements with a high-grade 304 series stainless steel outer sheath, providing rugged construction suitable for industrial liquid heating processes requiring corrosion resistance.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The TMS Series operates at power ratings from 3 to 36 kW. Electrical supply options include 240 and 480 V in both single-phase (1) and three-phase (3 phase) configurations. The series maintains a watt density of 23 W/in². Construction includes stainless steel .475" (1.2 cm) diameter elements welded to steel flanges, with heavy-duty jumper straps and terminal parts designed for permanent tightness and high current carrying capacity.

Heaters are equipped with General purpose NEMA 1 rated terminal enclosures as standard; other enclosure options are available upon request. The series is UL Listed and CSA Certified but is not intended for use in hazardous areas. Approved pressure and/or temperature limiting controls must be used to assure safe operation in the event of system malfunctions.

Configuration Options

The TMS Series offers a configurable envelope across flange sizes, power ratings, voltage, and phase options:

• Flange Sizes: Available with 3-inch, 5-inch, and 6-inch steel flanges. Larger flange sizes are available upon request.
• Power Ratings: Configurable from 3 kW to 36 kW depending on the model family (e.g., TMS-3xxxM for lower wattage up to 9 kW, TMS-6xxxM and TMS-12xxxM for higher capacities).
• Voltage & Phase: Models support 240 V or 480 V. Single-phase operation is standard on many models; three-phase power requires adding the "/3P" suffix to the model number.
• Enclosures: Standard General purpose NEMA 1 rated terminal enclosures are included. Optional Type E-3 Enclosure and other moisture-resistant or specialized housings can be requested through OMEGALUX®.
• Inclusions: Gasket seals are included with the unit.

Key Product Differences

The series is organized by model prefixes that indicate flange size and power capacity. The TMS-3xxxM models typically utilize 3-inch flanges, while TMS-6xxxM models correspond to 5-inch or 6-inch configurations depending on the specific kW rating. Higher wattage units (e.g., 18 kW through 36 kW) are designated with prefixes such as TMS-12xxxM and feature dual circuit arrangements where applicable.

Model numbers follow a structured format: TMS-<kW>-<Flange Size>-<Voltage>-<Phase>. For example, the suffix "/3P" designates three-phase power, and voltage must be explicitly designated (e.g., 240 for 240 VAC or 480 for 480 VAC) in certain configurations. Physical dimensions vary by kW rating; overall lengths range from approximately 18⅝ inches to over 78 inches depending on the power output and flange size selected.
