Thermal oils or thermal fluids are heat transfer media that are used to transfer thermal energy in those applications or processes where high temperatures are required.
Thermal oils or thermal fluids are heat transfer media that are used to transfer thermal energy in those applications or processes where high temperatures are required. One of its main applications is transmitting heat from the industrial burner boiler or industrial biomass boiler, to the different industrial processes/applications that require heat.
The heating of the thermal oil takes place through the heat generated by the combustion of the biomass in the furnace of the boiler, or of the fuel (natural gas, oil, fuel oil, etc.) in the burner. This heat is transmitted to the coils located inside the boiler, through which the thermal oil circulates. The coils of the industrial boiler, where the thermal oil will circulate, must be designed and constructed in accordance with the regulations, dimensions and quality necessary so that, in addition resisting the high temperatures to which the thermal oil will be subjected, they allow an optimum speed for proper heat transfer. The aforementioned qualities will not only extend the lifespan of the thermal oil, but also of the industrial boiler and other equipment involved in the heat generation process. That is why, for this type of thermal oil heating processes, we recommend the configuration of water tube coils which, in addition to preventing excessive thermal oil degradation, speed up start-stop processes, avoiding the instantaneous evaporation process, among other problems and deterioration.
CONTINUOUS GUIDANCE
The choice of thermal oil is a decision that must be considered technically in the hands of professionals, that is why, as manufacturers in industrial burners and boilers industrial biomass boilers, we accompany our customers and offer continuous advice regarding the choice of the best type of thermal oil, for the particular installations and processes. The thermal oil process requires making more decisions, therefore, in addition to advising our customers in the election phase, we help them continuously in aspects such as: performing the proper cleaning of the thermal oil, purged oil, etc., all oriented to ensure the maximum durability and performance of the equipment supplied. Would you like to know more about our industrial boilers and equipment for the generation and application of heat? Do you need advice regarding the best type of thermal oil for your equipment? If so, please contact us, and we will be happy to assist you.
