Heatec Booster Heater

Typical Heatec fired booster heaters are designed around a helical coil. Serpentine coils are also available. The liquid circulates through the coil and is heated by hot gases from a flame produced by a burner. The heater is typically constructed in a vertical orientation to allow for the liquids to be easily drained from the coil. This prevents the liquid from pooling and possibly hardening in the coil when it’s not in use. An optional economizer can be added to increase efficiency of the heater.

A heat exchanger can be used in place of a fired booster heater if you already have a thermal fluid heater at your facility or you need the thermal fluid heater to heat other users as well. For example, when you are using a thermal fluid heater to heat your tanks at an asphalt terminal and you need to boost the heat a little for polymer blending at the same facility you would add an exchanger to your system. The exchanger uses thermal fluid from the heater as its source of heat.
