How do thermal oil heaters work?

Unlike steam or hot water boilers, thermal oil heaters use specialised heat transfer fluids (often referred to as thermal oil) instead of water. The oil is heated indirectly by a burner and circulated through a closed-loop system to deliver consistent, high-temperature heat to the application.

Thermal oil heaters can achieve temperatures of up to 400°C without the need for high-pressure systems, offering a safer alternative to steam systems for applications requiring precise and consistent heat.

Key considerations for thermal oil heaters

Choosing the right thermal oil heater for your application requires evaluating a a variety of different factors:

High-temperature capability without pressure

Thermal oil heaters deliver heat at high temperatures without the risks associated with pressurised systems, reducing safety concerns and maintenance requirements.

Efficient heat transfer

The closed-loop system minimises heat losses and maximises efficiency by recirculating the thermal oil through the system.

Flexible applications

Thermal oil is a versatile medium that can be used across various industries for indirect heating, including processes where water or steam would not be suitable. operational costs at larger scales.

Maintenance and operational costs

While thermal oil systems eliminate the need for water treatment or steam traps, the cost of the thermal fluid and its eventual replacement should be considered.

Applications of thermal oil heaters

Thermal oil heaters are commonly used in industries requiring consistent, high-temperature heat for process applications, including:

  • Chemical and petrochemical processing
  • Food manufacturing
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Textile industry
