A thermal oil boiler is a type of equipment used in industrial facilities to harness heat energy in applications where pressure cannot be utilized. Unlike steam boilers, it operates at lower pressures while transferring high levels of heat energy effectively.
Thermal oil systems use heat transfer fluids specifically selected based on the thermal load of the application. Upon request, the system can be designed by Ekotek Heat Technologies as a nitrogen-blanketed closed-loop system or as an open-to-atmosphere configuration, tailored to meet your specific operational requirements.
A thermal oil boiler can also be used as a heating medium in the production of steam, hot water, or boiling water. The outlet and return temperatures of the thermal oil, as well as the flue gas outlet temperature, are controlled by digital thermostats. With Ekotek Heat Technologies' PLC control system, you can monitor real-time temperatures and programs from a single screen.
The working principle of a thermal oil boiler involves a closed-loop system in which thermal oil is heated to high temperatures and circulated. The interior surface of the boiler is lined with materials resistant to extreme heat. At the base of the boiler, fuel sources or electric heating elements are installed.
The oil is heated by these sources, rises through the system, and when it reaches the desired temperature, it is directed to industrial processes for use.
Thermal oil boilers have a wide range of industrial applications, including:
These boilers are engineered to handle high-temperature operations safely and efficiently.
Several factors influence the price of thermal oil boilers:
