Description

                                                                                         Advantages of pre-heating

The viscosity of oils and flame resistant liquids highly increases at low temperatures. This can cause very high pressure losses within tubes, filters and cooling systems. Cold starts of systems, especially when oil/air cooling units are set up outside, a much too high start-up pressure can cause heavy losses on pumps, filters, heat exchangers and other parts. If the oil in the tank has already reached a selected temperature by adequate pre-heating, the start-up of systems and machines will be considerably eased.

Equipment level

The heat exchanger with extendible tube bundle can be fitted with a steam or steam/electric heater as desired. This module, including heating control, thermal insulation and all fittings, comes preassembled and ready-to-connect.

Construction

A cylindrical heat exchanger supplied preassembled together with fittings on a sturdy support structure to form a single compact unit.

Overview

The oil preheater module preheats the pumpable heavy fuel oil to the atomiser temperature for the respective burner.
