Our high-quality thermal oil heaters are fully custom-made. Depending on the available space and height in the installation and the ease of maintenance, a horizontal or vertical version is chosen. There is no functional difference in this. The heaters supply heat via liquid fuel (HFO, fuel oil) and/or gaseous (natural gas, propane, etc.). The main component of a thermal fluid heating system is the thermal oil boiler. It heats a liquid fuel and circulates it to supply energy to various energy consumers within a closed circuit. The heating and indirect monitoring work automatically.
Benefits
Safety. The Electron heaters work without pressure and water. This avoids typical problems with steam heating systems, such as leaks, corrosion, and water treatment. |
Fuel saving. You save up to 20% fuel compared to steam heating systems. A thermal fluid system consists of a closed circuit with minimal energy leakage: at least 90% of the fuel goes to the heating process. |
Very efficient. Hot oil heating systems are highly efficient due to the temperature uniformity during the manufacturing process. |
Requires little maintenance. |
Our thermal oil heaters are of cylindrical shape, arranged to raise the temperature of the thermal fluid circulating in two concentric coils by combustion of liquid fuel in a burner located in the front cover. There is high density rockwool insulation between the two casings for low temperatures (30-40°C) in the outer casing, thereby achieving minimal structural losses and preventing burns from unintentional contact with the boiler. The burner flame is projected therefrom to the combustion chamber, which has been sized according to the geometry of the flame. The closing of the chamber is done by refractory. It then changes direction, and the combustion gases circulate at high speed and turbulence between the two coils to the front cover, where they change direction again until evacuated by the flue at the end of the casings. The coils are made up of two, three, four or more steps depending on the model as high-speed flow of the thermal fluid is essential for good heat transfer and to prevent it cracking. Initially, the thermal fluid circulates in the outside coil (where the heat is transmitted almost exclusively by convection) before transferring to the internal coil (where the heat is transmitted almost exclusively by radiation), thus achieving excellent energy performance.
