There’s a lot to carefully consider when you’re upgrading or replacing your facility’s equipment. Thermal oils tolerate higher temperatures than water-based formulas without boiling or unduly increasing system pressure.
Thermal fluid heating, and thermal oil systems, in particular, have several advantages. These advantages include:
Efficient industrial heating is important for a variety of reasons – both within your facility and its daily operations, a...
How to select the right thermal fluid heater for your plant can be a tough task. With so many industrial heating equipment manufacturers and heater models on the market, it can be difficult to narrow down your options and make a decision.
It’s probably going to be tough to focus your full, uninterrupted attention on the task of choosing a new industrial thermal fluid heater for a long stretch of time. You’re going to need to make the best decision possible for your plant qui...
The term Thermal Fluid does not refer to a specific fluid, there are many. There are also many companies that produce a variety of Thermal Fluids.
The most common Thermal Fluids are either Mineral Oil based or Synthetic Oils. The various manufacturers typically produce a series of fluids that each has a recommended operating temperature range. Close consideration should be given to this operating range in selecting a fluid.
There are other considerations as well, consult with f...
Low-pressure boilers operate at a lower pressure and reach lower temperatures than high-pressure steam boilers. Water in low-pressure boilers is not heated beyond 250ºF, and the steam pressure does not exceed 15 psi (pounds per square inch).
According to the differences in fuel and structure, industrial thermal oil heaters are mainly divided into the oil/gas-fired thermal oil heater and coal/biomass-fired thermal oil heater. The basic configurations of the thermal oil boiler system generally are as follows.
If the hot oil pump of the fully automatic thermal oil heater is suddenly damaged and stops working during the operation, the boiler circulation will be blocked. If the fuel is still burning to make the oil temperature keep rising, it will cause the coking of the hot medium oil which is easy to cause a fire. If the fully automatic thermal oil heater catches fire due to the power cut during the operation, the boiler operator should quickly put out the fire in the furnace to stop the fuel from burning, and blow a large amount of cold air into the furnace to lower the temperature.
The hot medium oil of the thermal oil heater should be tested regularly to measure and analyze the physical and chemical indicators such as the residual carbon, acid value, viscosity, flash point, melting point and so on, so as to know the quality changes in time and analyze the reasons for the changes. When the acid value exceeds 0.5mgKOH/g, the viscosity change reaches 15%, the flash point change reaches 20%, and the residual carbon (mass fraction) reaches 1.5%, it indicates that the performance of the hot medium oil has changed. Therefore, the user needs to regularly add the new heat carrier when using the hot medium oil to keep the residual carbon in the system stable.
Thermal oil heaters have the characteristics of low pressure and high temperature. They adopt the special manufacturing technology and are equipped with tailor-made flue gas waste heat recovery systems, so they are energy-efficient with higher thermal efficiency than similar products on the market. They also have a high level of automation.
