RTF FlexiPanel
Non-Metallic Tank and Vessel Heating Panel
The RTF FlexiPanel is a self-contained, high performance
flexible heating panel designed specifically for use on
fiberglass and plastic tanks or vessels and for metallic tanks
and vessels containing high viscosity or temperature-sensitive
fluids. Designed to provide heat outputs at 0.7 watts
per square inch (1,085 watts per square meter) or less, the
RTF FlexiPanel distributes heat evenly over the entire panel
surface to maintain stable temperatures.1 The low profile
flexible design of the panel permits rapid, troublefree installation
using the mounting kit available from Thermon.
To ensure multiple flow paths for electrical current to pass,
the RTF FlexiPanel utilizes a parallel circuit design based on
a stamped high temperature alloy heating element. This
design eliminates the burnout potential common with
series wire-based designs. The rugged construction of the
RTF FlexiPanel includes a tough metal jacket that provides
mechanical protection during handling and installation. The
panel’s heating element is further protected from vibration
and moisture by sandwiching it in a heat-laminated layer of
silicone rubber that provides cushion and a watertight seal.
RTF FlexiPanels are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassified)
and hazardous (classified) areas.
Operating Voltage: 120 or 240 VAC
