Conduction oil, commonly known as hot oil or heat transfer fluid, is an integral component in a broad range of industrial applications that require the transfer of thermal energy. This specialized fluid functions as an intermediary that carries heat from one point to another within a closed-loop system, ensuring the even distribution of heat across various machinery and equipment. Often, these oils are utilized in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemical plants, and manufacturing to...
Choosing a thermal fluid (also known as a heat transfer fluid or HTF) for an industrial boiler application is a critical decision, as it directly impacts the safety, efficiency, and performance of your heating system. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help an industrial boiler buyer or manufacturer choose the right thermal fluid:
1. Operating Temperature Range:Determine the required operating temperature range of your application. Choose a thermal fluid that has a bulk temperature operating ...
There are several ways to estimate the thermal efficiency of gas-fired boilers:
1. Direct method: This method involves measuring the amount of fuel consumed and the amount of heat produced by the boiler. By comparing these two values, it is possible to calculate the thermal efficiency of the boiler.
2. Indirect method: The indirect method involves measuring various parameters such as flue gas temperature, ambient air temperature, and fuel consumption, and then calculating the t...
Here, we'll address four of the key mechanical benefits that serpentine coil heaters have to offer.
1. Coil Replacement
Coil replacement in serpentine industrial coil heaters is notably easier than that in helical coil heaters. With serpentine coil thermal oil heaters, you can replace one tube at a time instead of replacing the entire coil. This can save you thousands of dollars on the cost of purchasing a new helical coil in its entirety. Because the coil replacement can be taken care of quickly, you'll also save hundreds of thousands of dollars by avoiding excess facility downtime.
In addition to water, other fluids can transport heat in industrial boilers, and thermal fluids usually replace water when higher temperatures are needed.
For an industrial boiler with reasonable structural design, its thermal efficiency is relatively high, and its exhaust gas discharge temperature is relatively low, so we must carefully consider the boiler property report form when purchasing the boiler.
Gas consumption per hour of natural gas boiler = boiler thermal efficiency / natural gas calorific value / boiler efficiency. The higher the efficiency of boiler use, the less gas consumption, which has inverse relationship between the two. Boiler efficiency has become a key point in assessing boiler quality.
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.
