Thermal Fluid Heating Systems are high temperature process heating systems, using a special appropriate oil-based thermal fluid, a so-called Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) as the circulating heat carrier. These types of heating systems are used for high performance industrial processes - most often as an alternative to high pressure saturated steam. For instance spray-drying systems often requires very high temperature to achieve maximum performance. These
heaters become an attractive alternative
to the steam - mainly due to much higher operating temperatures
on the heating media (HTF), able to maintain low system pressure (often
atmospheric pressure).
There are numerous other
advantages for using this kind of heating, including
significant less overall operation costs. But there are also
disadvantages, See more at "COMPARE
STEAM AND THERMAL FLUID".

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
|
The
ThermoPack units (thermal oil heater units) comprise a heater,
pressure vessel, main pump, heat exchangers,
tanks, armatures, safety equipment, instrumentation, control system and the
tanks for expansion, dearating & de-gassing, buffer and emptying including
arrangement for filling/emptying system, barrels and tank. Environmental solutions are available in many alternative design - including mounting of economiser and thermal oil heated by utilising waste heat in, for instance, hot flue gas. AB&CO have
specialised in ThermoPacks as skid-mounted units and containerised solutions
(as shown on photo above / left). But systems are also delivered as separate
components e.g. the heaters alone (below photo)  AB&CO oil-fired heaters at bitumen plant |
The simple principle in thermal thermal fluid systems is heating by use
of a special thermal
oil - also called heat transfer fluids (HTF).

These systems are all tailor-made and they are always delivered as complete packages for assembly on site, or as skid-mounted units when the size allows it. They come with full documentation and easy readable instructions for handling, erecting, installation operation and maintenance. |
