Our electric thermal fluid heaters are designed to cover the low power range not covered by our GFT line of thermal fluid boilers for conventional fuels. The heat in our range of electric thermal fluid heaters is provided by electrical boilers and therefore guarantees a 100% yield for the energy consumed.
We use very low density electrical heaters (to minimize thermal fluid breakdown) and solid state relays for modulating power regulation.
Our electric thermal fluid heaters are supplied as a compact unit on a platform containing all equipment components, including the expansion tank if transport permits. The platform has profiles that perform as a spill tray to contain any leakage of thermal fluid. All the equipment is supplied with thermal insulation of a highly corrosion resistant aluminum film coating. They can be equipped with two recirculation pumps, one as reserve.
The main difference between this and a gas or steam boiler is the energy source used to heat the thermal fluid to the required temperature. While gas, oil or diesel boilers have a burner which sprays or injects the fuel, in electric thermal fluid heaters, which do not have a flame, the heat is provided by electrical resistors.
The efficiency of our electrical and thermal fluid heaters is 100% of the energy consumed. Normally, choice of this type of boiler is due to lack of other energy sources at the installation’s location or intended location, to cover small power requirements and/or in applications where continuous heating of a process is not needed.
