The Hi-R-Temp® thermal fluid heater is a state-of-the-art forced circulation coil-type system designed for superior efficiency and fast response in demanding thermal fluid heating applications. More efficient than many helical coil designs, it uses parallel-connected coils with a minimum of seven concentric layers to optimize heat transfer. With a compact footprint, small fluid volume, and high fluid velocity, the system can ramp quickly as operating conditions change, delivering full output in about five minutes with fully modulating control.
Designed as a closed-loop solution, Hi-R-Temp® thermal fluid heaters deliver high temperature at low pressure with capacities from 400,000 to 20,000,000 BTU/hr and temperatures up to 750°F, without requiring a water treatment system or steam traps. Air and fuel are controlled by PID control based on fluid outlet temperature, and systems can be supplied completely packaged and fully tested with accessories such as thermal fluid pump and motor sets, expansion tanks, skid-mounted systems, valves, and thermal fluid.
Hi-R-Temp® platforms are available with modern communications and controls, including linkageless burner controls when desired, plus PLC/HMI options and remote data acquisition via ModBus, Ethernet, Bacnet, or other protocols. If you’re comparing solutions referred to as a thermal oil heater, thermic fluid heater, or thermal fluid boiler, the Hi-R-Temp® thermal fluid heater provides a proven approach for efficient, controllable thermal fluid heating in industrial environments.
