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.
Choosing the right thermal oil heater for your application requires evaluating a a variety of different factors:
Thermal oil heaters deliver heat at high temperatures without the risks associated with pressurised systems, reducing safety concerns and maintenance requirements.
The closed-loop system minimises heat losses and maximises efficiency by recirculating the thermal oil through the system.
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.
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.
Thermal oil heaters are commonly used in industries requiring consistent, high-temperature heat for process applications, including:
Although thermal oil heaters are not part of our core manufacturing range, we understand their role in specialised applications and can incorporate them into complete heating systems. By combining our experience in combustion systems, package plant room design, and system integration, we can ensure your thermal oil heating system operates efficiently and meets the specific demands of your facility.
