Thermal Oil Boiler
High-temperature heat transfer systems delivering stable, efficient heating without high pressure.
Thermal Oil Boilers
High-Temperature Heating Without High Pressure
Thermal oil boilers, also known as thermal fluid heaters, are industrial heating systems designed to transfer heat using a specialised thermal oil instead of water or steam. The thermal fluid circulates through a heat exchange body where it absorbs energy generated through combustion of various fuel sources.
At Boiler and Steam Installations (BSI), our thermal oil boiler systems deliver high-temperature heat safely and efficiently while operating at low system pressures.
How Thermal Oil Boilers Work
Efficient Heat Transfer Through Thermal Fluid
Industrial thermal oil boilers consist of one or more coils through which the thermal oil circulates. Combustion gases pass around these coils, transferring heat directly to the thermal fluid.
Heat Exchange Coils
Thermal oil circulates through coils designed for direct, efficient heat absorption.
Combustion Heating
Combustion gases pass around coils, transferring heat directly to the thermal fluid.
Circulation Pump
A pump moves heated oil to the process, maintaining stable flow and temperature.
Closed-Loop Return
After heat transfer, oil returns to be reheated—continuous, efficient operation.
This continuous closed-loop system ensures consistent temperature control and efficient operation throughout your process.
Applications
Ideal for Medium to High Temperature Processes
Thermal oil boilers are widely used where stable, high-temperature heat—up to approximately 400°C—is required without the high pressures associated with steam systems. Typical applications include:
Fuel Flexibility
