300077 - Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket for 14-Inch Pipe

Precision Preheating for 14-Inch Pipes

The Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket (300077) is a specialized accessory engineered for the rigorous demands of industrial welding and fabrication. Designed specifically to fit 14-inch pipe diameters, this blanket measures 10.1 inches by 53 inches, providing optimal coverage and thermal transfer. It is an essential component for professionals utilizing the Miller ProHeat induction heating systems, offering a seamless solution for preheating applications up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius).

High Efficiency and Performance

Induction heating is renowned for its speed and consistency, and this air-cooled blanket maximizes those benefits. With an operating efficiency greater than 90 percent, it ensures that energy is effectively transferred directly to the workpiece. This high efficiency is crucial for maintaining uniform temperatures across the heat-affected zone (HAZ), whether working on thin-walled tubing or heavy-wall pressure vessels. The ability to maintain precise temperature control helps prevent hydrogen cracking and ensures code compliance in critical welding sectors.

Air-Cooled Convenience

Unlike liquid-cooled systems that require chillers, coolant lines, and additional maintenance, this air-cooled blanket offers significant operational freedom. The absence of liquid cooling requirements reduces installation costs and setup time, making it highly portable and easier to deploy in field environments. This feature is particularly advantageous in complex job sites like refineries, power plants, and shipbuilding yards where equipment mobility is key.

Durability and Protection

Industrial environments are tough on equipment, which is why Miller has equipped this induction blanket with a replaceable Kevlar sleeve. The Kevlar material provides a robust layer of protection against abrasion, cuts, and tears, significantly extending the service life of the induction coil inside. This thoughtful design element ensures that the blanket can withstand the rough handling associated with pipeline construction and structural welding while maintaining its performance integrity.
