Thermal Oil Heater

Product Introduction.

A Thermal Oil Heater provides indirect heating to process heat loads by heating a liquid heat transfer medium which is circulated to one or more energy users in a closed loop system. Synthetic thermal oil, water or glycol are common heat transfer mediums used.

A Thermal Oil Heaters can offer considerable advantages over a similar steam generation system. Benefits of a thermal fluid system include:

• A thermal fluid system does not require a water treatment system as is required for a steam boiler. Even when using a water heat transfer medium it is a closed loop system and only requires an initial treatment.

• Under normal circumstances, a thermal fluid system does not lose fluid through steam trap discharge, blowdown requirements or leaking valve glands.

• A thermal fluid system operates at much lower pressures than a comparable steam system, saving on installation costs.

• These all offer lower operating costs and generally improved levels of safety.

Thermal OilHeaters are most commonly used in the following industries:

• Gas processing

• Oil refining

• Pharmaceutical

• Paper making and printing

• Textile manufacture

• Building materials

Product Features.

A thermal fluid system offers the following advantages:

• It offers about 50% energy savings over a steam plant.

• It offers about 80% energy savings over a comparable electric heating system.

• It is easily capable of achieving higher temperature at much lower pressure than a comparable steam system.

• The installation is a closed circuit circulation system offering low heat losses and liquid phase heat transfer with resulting energy savings.

• Temperature control is very precise, allowing for precise heat transfer characteristics.
