Indirect Line Heaters
Counteract the Joule-Thomson effect with API 12K heaters.

Indirect Line Heaters are used with high pressure natural gas streams to counteract the Joule-Thomson (JT) effect where a reduction in temperature occurs at the choke when the well stream pressure is rapidly reduced to sales line pressure. They can also be used to heat gas or oil in transmission lines.
Units are sized from 85 MBTU to 10 MMBTU and custom designed per the customer's needs, with Burner Management Systems used on this type of equipment.
Applications
- JT effect management at chokes
- Gas and oil transmission-line heating
- GPU heater packages
