OMEGA Thermo Products Flanged and Dished Heads

OMEGA Thermo Products Flanged and Dished Heads with Omega Laser Plate are formed tank head components used in process tanks where heating or cooling requirements must be considered as part of the tank design.

These assemblies combine a flanged and dished tank head with Omega Laser Plate technology, allowing a laser-welded heat transfer surface to be incorporated into the head area of the vessel.

The product begins with flat stainless-steel sheets that are laser welded before the head is formed. After welding, the flanged and dished head is formed using the appropriate method for the head size and configuration.

OMEGA Thermo Products identifies hydro forming and bump forming as available forming methods. The head is supplied fully formed and trimmed for installation, with the jacketing inflated hydrostatically after installation on the tank.

Flanged and dished heads with Omega Laser Plate are distinct from clamp-on heat exchangers, immersion heat exchangers, plate banks, falling film chillers, ice banks, and industrial ice machines. The heat transfer surface is part of the formed tank head rather than a separate external, immersed, or packaged refrigeration component. This makes the product relevant for tank designs where head geometry, connection placement, openings, isolated areas, and heat transfer coverage need to be evaluated together.

Process Controls Corporation supports industrial customers with access to OMEGA Thermo Products flanged and dished heads with Omega Laser Plate, including coordination of product documentation, configuration details, and application review for projects requiring laser-welded tank head heat transfer components.
