Innovative Technology to Improve the Efficiency of Heat Transfer Systems
Heat Transfer Systems (HTS), also known as thermal fluid heating systems or hot oil systems, operate by circulating a fluid through a closed-loop system to transfer heat to and from various process equipment. These systems are widely used in industries for applications requiring precise temperature control and high-temperature operations without the need for high pressure.
Heat transfer oils are formulated for long service life and to resist thermal cracking and oxidation. Eventually, however, they will deteriorate generating deposits that may interfere with the heat transfer efficiency of the system. Remedying these efficiency losses and system deposits involves a costly system shutdown and complex flushing processes.
