Every customer is concerned about the service life of products he purchases. Extending the service life of thermal oil heater is helpful for reducing customer’s costs and increasing profits. Different existing thermal oil heaters on the market have different service years.
The thermal oil heater is a heater that uses heat medium oil as medium for heat transfer. The low-pressure and high-temperature heating can be realized by the utilization of the high-temperature characteristics of heat medium oil.If there is too much moisture in the low-temperature heat medium oil, there will be pressure fluctuations, which will cause some other problems. In addition, if the heat medium oil does not flow in the furnace owing to the stop of pump, the oil temperature will rise and exceed the limit value, which not will greatly affect the service life of the heater and cause the deterioration of the heat medium oil.
Generally, there is moisture in heat medium oil. And, the moisture will be evaporated during the heating process of the oil. If the water vapor is not discharged from the thermal oil heater, it will cause the fluctuation of heat medium oil pressure. However, the oil-gas separator can separate the water vapor from the heat medium oil and discharge it from the heater, which ensures the stable oil pressure.
If the circulating pump of a thermal oil heater stops working suddenly. Then, some measures should be taken immediately to remove the fire source. If not, the stop of circulating pump will cause coking in the oil tube, which will shorten the service life of the heater.
1. The storage tank is used to store the heat medium oil of the heating system;
2. The storage tank is used to receive the overrunning heat medium oil；
3. The storage tank is used to supplement heat medium oil for the heating system;
4. The storage tank should be placed at the lowest position of the system;
5. A firewall should be placed between the storage tank and the thermal oil heater;
6. The storage tank should be operated at a low liquid level.
The selection of a burner of the gas-fired thermal oil heater should be determined according to the boiler proper structure and fuel characteristics and in combination with the actual conditions and requirements. In addition, this kind of boiler can adopt a waste heat recovery device to improve thermal efficiency and reduce heat energy loss.
1. Your existing system is inefficient
Efficiency is key when it comes to plant heating. Utilizing efficient equipment can save your company a significant amount of money in the long run and it is better for the environment. If you know that your existing system is not as efficient as it could be and it is in need of repair, it may be worth looking into thermal oil system replacement.
2. Your existing system features helical coil technology
Helical coils are common in thermal oil heaters from most manufacturers. But there are many reasons why serpentine coils are the better way to go when it comes to thermal fluid heating. Repairs to helical coils can be so expensive and time consuming that in many cases you are better off investing in new equipment – and it is well worth it to consider a new thermal oil system that features serpentine coil technology instead.
In the case of a thermal oil heater in a high-temperature operation state, if it encounters an emergency situation of power failure, its correct treatment is:
When the circulating oil pump cannot operate normally due to power failure, the heat transfer oil in the furnace tube will exceed the allowable value in a short time due to the residual heat of the furnace. At this time, the cold oil switching valve should be opened to release the cold oil in the expansion tank. And sent to the oil storage tank. At the same time, wet coal pressure or emergency shutdown is required and needs to be completed within 5 minutes.
In addition, we need to pay attention to not to put the oil in the expansion tank clean, otherwise the system will inhale air and cause problems. An oil level mark can be made on the oil level of the oil storage tank. When the cold oil is replaced, the valve can be closed in time to avoid the expansion of the expansion tank and the oil storage tank.
