An electrically heated thermal oil system generates industrial process heat using electric heating elements that directly heat the circulating thermal oil within a closed loop. The heat is produced without combustion, is emission-free at the installation site and offers high control precision.
Thermal oil systems are extremely efficient in heat transfer and have very low wear. No additional boiler room is required for electrcally heated systems, allowing easy integration into existing production environments. In addition, the system enables particularly gentle and precise heating of the thermal oil. This makes electrically heated thermal oil systems suitable for almost all industries, including the food industry, pharmaceutical operations, crude oil processing and biogas upgrading.
System Properties:
AURA´s electrically heated thermal oil systems are designed for industrial processes with medium power requirements and can achieve temperatures of up to 450°C with capacities ranging from 100kW to 6000kW.
The thermal oil is heated in the return line of the circuit by electric heating elements integrated into a tubular heater. The heating elements are directly built into the piping system. As the medium flows through, it is heated to the desired operating temperature and then fed back into the system loop. Temperature control is fully automatic via:
The heating output can be continuously adjusted to match the current process demand.
Very efficient, electrical energy is almost entirely converted into heat.
No, the system allows for simple and fast maintenance.
Yes, a suitable design is possible.
Very quickly and precisely due to electric control.
Yes, electrically heated thermal oil systems are well suited for power-to-heat concepts.
Yes, integration or retrofitting is possible.
