A thermal oil-heated steam generator uses hot thermal oil as the primary energy source to generate process steam. Heat is transferred via a heat exchanger from the thermal oil to feedwater, which is then evaporated in a controlled manner.
This solution is ideal for operations where a thermal oil system is already in place and additional steam is required for individual process steps – without using a seperate firing system. AURAs thermal oil-heated steam generators enable efficient coupling of thermal oil and steam systems.
System Properties:
The AURA steam generator system is indirectly heated with thermal oil and can generate a steam pressure of up to 30 bar. The AURA steam generator system operates within a temperature range of 120°C – 150°C and has an additional pre-installed feed water degassing unit.
The hot thermal oil is passed through a heat exchanger, where it brings the feedwater to boiling point.
Pressure and temperature are automatically controlled to ensure that the required amount of steam is always produced.
When a thermal oil system is already in place and additional steam is required.
No, the energy comes from the existing thermal oil system.
It enables stable steam pressure even during peak load demand.
Yes, integration into existing thermal oil and steam systems is possible.
Since no additional combustion is required, direct emissions are reduced.
Yes, hybrid solutions are feasible in most cases.
From smaller applications up tp large-scale systems with capacities of up to 15MW.
