Electric process heater
Flanged immersion electric heater in a horizontal pressure shell on fixed and sliding saddles: body flange with the element tubesheet flange and full studding, finned standoff, Ex d terminal enclosure with bolted cover, cable glands, element thermocouples and an auxiliary over-temperature sensor box, process inlet and outlet, vent, drain, PSV, thermowells and a local junction box. Rated power sets the shell size and length.
Installation
Copies thermal/electric-heater.tsx and the shared lib/ into src/components/deck-twin/. Needs three, @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. See installation for the manual route.
Usage
import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Stage } from './components/deck-twin/lib/stage'
import { ElectricHeater } from './components/deck-twin/thermal/electric-heater'
export default function Scene() {
return (
<Canvas shadows camera={{ position: [8, 5, 9], fov: 35 }}>
<Stage>
<ElectricHeater />
</Stage>
<OrbitControls makeDefault />
</Canvas>
)
}

P&ID
A horizontal shell with a resistance element (zig-zag) drawn inside it and a terminal box on the flange end; the power supply comes from a thyristor controller and the process inlet and outlet are on the shell.
The zig-zag element plus a terminal box tells it from a shell-and-tube exchanger. On P&IDs a TIC with a TY / thyristor box and a high-temperature trip (TSHH on the element) usually accompanies it.

For agents
Machine-readable entry with props, ranges, defaults and ports:
Or fetch /r/electric-heater.json, or copy a ready-made instruction:
Add the Deck Twin "Electric process heater" component to this project. Run `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add electric-heater` (it copies the file and the shared lib into src/components/deck-twin/), then `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info electric-heater` for its props, ranges and ports. Render <ElectricHeater /> inside a React Three Fiber <Canvas shadows>, wrapped in <Stage> from src/components/deck-twin/lib/stage. Set props from my data (metres, NPS in inches, ASME class) and leave the rest at defaults. Install three, @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei and @types/three if they're missing.
