+ Also know as:
= Thermal Fluids/Thermal Oils
= Heating/Cooling Fluids
= Hot Oils
+ Able to generate high temperatures at low
‘system pressures
+ Offer safety, low maintenance & extended
operating lifetimes
+ Highly efficient, non-corrosive & allow for
accurate temperature regulation and
uniformity

General System Design Elements
> Paratherm+ Fuel Fired Heaters:
+ Typical Design: HTF recirculates through cylindrical coils. Gas or
ollsired burner fires into the center of the coils system
+ Electric Heating
+ Typical Design: Electric heating elements are immersed into
circulating fluid
+ Watt-density important:
+ Typical max watt-density of 20 wattlin? with 1.2-2.5 m/s velocity
+ Waste Heat Recovery
+ Biomass
+ Direct Expansion Exchangers
+ Operating temperatures up to 600°F
+ Standard air-cooled centrifugal pump
+ Operating temperatures above 60°F
+ Canned or mag-drive pump
+ Y-Strainer/Side Stream Filter to protect against wear
