Thermal fluid systems can be found in countless industrial processes, working to provide precise, efficient, and reliable temperature control to a vast range of applications. These systems use heat transfer fluids — synthetic oils, water & glycol mixtures, or other specialized fluids — to deliver consistent heating straight to manufacturing equipment without the need for direct flame or electrical resistance heating.

For industries that require precise temperature control, thermal fluid systems (also known as heat transfer systems) are often the best choice. These efficient and reliable closed-loop systems work by circulating a heat transfer fluid – such as water, a water/glycol mixture, or a thermal oil – through a piping circuit connected to one or more parts of a manufacturing process. The circulating fluid allows for the addition or removal of energy from a heat source to the process, thus allowing for temperature control. Thermal fluid systems can regulate temperatures precisely and across a wide range, making them ideal for applications in almost every industry, including chemical processing, food production, plastics,…

Safety interlocks in a heat transfer system are key to the prevention of potential damage ensuring overall system integrity. Safety interlocks act as vigilant guardians, continuously monitoring critical parameters and responding to deviations from normal operating conditions. Read on to learn more.

Fluid maintenance is as important as maintaining mechanical parts. If your system is not running as it should, it may be time to perform maintenance on your thermal fluid. HEAT can help you diagnose and correct these problems, even helping to avoid downtime.  Read on to learn more about some symptoms of degraded or contaminated thermal fluid, how to take corrective action, and keep your process running safely.

Hot oil filters play a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and reliability of your heat transfer systems. Filter packages are designed to remove contaminants and impurities from heat transfer fluid, ensuring optimal heat exchange performance and extending the lifespan of the fluid and your heat transfer system itself. HEAT’s HTFF Series Filtration Packages are side-stream filtration systems designed for a hot oil system operating up to 650°F and 150 PSIG. HTFF Series filters can be connected in series or in parallel to any existing heat transfer system for continuous particulate filtration of your heat transfer fluid. They use spun-wound, glass fiber elements, which are compatible with nearly every heat transfer…
