Electric Thermal Oil Heaters
From Industrial Heaters
Our electric thermal fluid heaters are designed to cover the low power range not covered by our GFT line of thermal fluid boilers for conventional fuels. The heat in our range of electric thermal fluid heaters is provided by electrical boilers and therefore guarantees a 100% yield for the energy consumed. We use very low density electrical heaters (to minimize thermal fluid breakdown) and solid state relays for modulating power regulation. Our electric thermal fluid heaters are supplied as a compact unit on a platform containing all equipment components, including the expansion tank if transport permits. The platform has profiles that perform as a spill tray to contain any leakage of thermal fluid. All the equipment is supplied with thermal insulation of a highly corrosion resistant aluminum film coating. They can be equipped with two recirculation pumps, one as reserve.
Details
The main difference between this and a gas or steam boiler is the energy source used to heat the thermal fluid to the required temperature. While gas, oil or diesel boilers have a burner which sprays or injects the fuel, in electric thermal fluid heaters, which do not have a flame, the heat is provided by electrical resistors.
The efficiency of our electrical and thermal fluid heaters is 100% of the energy consumed. Normally, choice of this type of boiler is due to lack of other energy sources at the installation’s location or intended location, to cover small power requirements and/or in applications where continuous heating of a process is not needed.
When To Select And Install An Electric Thermal Oil Heater
Electric thermal oil heaters offer great efficiency when the production process requires a high temperature industrial heating system with precise temperature control. They are commonly used in industrial processes where the temperature must be maintained at a constant level for extended periods.
Some of the main benefits of electric thermal oil boilers are:
- Energy Efficiency: Electric thermal oil heaters are highly efficient in transferring thermal energy to the oil, thanks to which the amount of energy required to maintain the desired temperature is reduced, which translates into lower operating costs.
- Precise temperature control: Electric thermal oil boilers offer precise temperature control, which is essential in many industrial processes. The temperature can be controlled within a very narrow range, ensuring that the process is carried out precisely and consistently.
- Security: Electric thermal oil boilers offer a plus of security, since there is no open flame or combustion. This eliminates the risk of fire or explosion, so these boilers are an excellent option to consider in particularly risky and dangerous environments.
- Low maintenance: Electric thermal oil heaters require little maintenance, since they have no moving parts. This reduces the need for regular maintenance and minimizes downtime.
On the other hand, the operating costs must always be evaluated before taking a decission.
- The operating costs of electric thermal oil boilers can be lower than those of gas boilers in some cases, especially if the price of natural gas is high, or if electricity rates are low.
- As mentioned before, electric thermal oil heaters are very efficient in transferring thermal energy to the oil, which means that less energy consumption is required to maintain the desired temperature.
- Additionally, these boilers can be combined with a thermal energy storage system, allowing the user to generate heat during off-peak hours, when energy rates are lowest, and then use that stored heat during peak hours, when energy rates are higher.
