Oil heater with high temperature heat transfer agent

Abstract

The work is devoted to the development of a block oil heater with a capacity of 40 t/h when it is heated from 10 to 60°C. The fuel used is natural or associated petroleum gas.As a result of the analysis of heat-technical calculations according to the aggregate characteristics, a high temperature organic heat transfer agent, thermal oil, was adopted as a secondary heat transfer agent.A block oil heater with a thermo-oil boiler unit is designed, consisting of two modules: a heat generation module and a heat transfer module. The description and operation of the heater with a thermo-oil boiler unit is presented.The significance of the results obtained for the construction industry lies in the fact that this heater is able to operate in heating or hot water supply mode, when the automation system is switched to the appropriate installations. The developed block oil heater, in comparison with existing analogues, has the following advantages: it has compact dimensions and high specific power, the control unit is equipped with an automated microprocessor complex, and the modular design allows it to be transported by any type of transport.
