Thermal Fluid Heater for Printing
Built for use in the printing industry, thermal fluid heater is a helical coil design and has an output of 9.4 million BTU/hr. In addition to its helical coil, the heater has two heat exchangers. The first preheats combustion air to the burner. The blower for the heater's burner forces combustion air through open spaces inside hollow plates in the plate-type air-to-air exchanger. Exhaust gases pass along the outside edges of the plates, transferring heat to the combustion air. The second heat exchanger is used for preheating thermal fluid before it enters the helical coil. Thermal fluid enters the exchanger, a finned-tube convection section, and is heated by convective heat from hot exhaust gases. The two exchangers increase the heater's efficiency to 91.5 percent LHV. Both exchangers are mounted in the heater's exhaust stack.Heatec
