Theory of Operation
The Hi-R Temp thermal fluid heater is a forced circulation coil type thermal fluid heater in which fluid circulates through a set of coils are parallel connected and have a minimum of seven concentric layers.
The pump is sized specific to the flow rate and pressure drop requirements of each application, maintaining the fluid bulk and film temperature properties. Combustion air and fuel are controlled by PID control in response to fluid outlet temperature. The small volume and high fluid velocity allow the Hi-R-Temp thermal fluid heater to respond quickly to changing system output requirements.
Vapor Power heaters can be provided with many system accessories that include thermal fluid pump and motor sets, expansion tanks, skid mounted systems, system valves, thermal fluid, and more.
