A steam-heated thermal oil system uses existing process steam as the primary energy source to heat thermal oil. The heat is trensferred from the steam to the circulating thermal oil via a heat exchanger – without additional firing.
This solution is particularly suitable for industrial systems where steam is already available, high-temperature process heat is required, and flexible temperature control at the consumer is needed.
AURAs steam heated thermal oil systems enable economical and efficient coupling of steam and thermal oil circuits.
System Properties:
Heating systems with thermal oil are characterised by excellent energy efficiency by minimal wear. The steam-heated thermal oil system is suitable for heating processes that need to be precisely tempered and require different temperature levels. In a steam-heated thermal oil system, the available steam is directed into a heat exchanger. There, the steam condenses and transfers its heat to the thermal oil.
When steam is already available and flexible temperature control at the consumer is required.
Depending on the steam pressure, up to 300°C in the thermal oil circuit.
No, the energy comes from the existing steam system.
The condensate is returned to the existing steam system within the circuit?
Yes, integration is easily possible.
Yes, hybrid solutions with fired or electric systems are possible.
