In the dynamic world of industrial processes, hot oil systems play a pivotal role in various applications, from chemical processing, to plastics manufacturing, to food production, and everything in between. These systems rely on the efficient transfer of thermal energy to maintain precise temperature control and facilitate smooth operations. However, to ensure consistent and reliable performance, proper hot oil system fluid maintenance is paramount. The effectiveness of a hot oil system depends on the integrity and quality of its fluid, making routine maintenance practices indispensable. By following a set of best steps and implementing a proactive approach to fluid care, operators can optimize heat transfer efficiency,…

Heat transfer systems play a vital role in various industrial and commercial applications, ensuring the efficient and effective distribution of thermal energy. You can almost think of them as the circulatory system for manufacturing processes. Expansion tanks are key components of these systems and are an essential safety measure for maintaining system integrity, preventing damage and injury, and optimizing system performance. As pressure vessels specifically designed to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of heat transfer fluids (thermal oil, water, or glycol), Expansion Tanks undergo temperature fluctuations within a closed system. As temperatures rise, fluids expand, creating additional volume that needs…

When considering the installation of a thermal fluid system, one important decision to make is whether to install it outdoors or indoors. Both options come with their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the key things to consider when deciding between outdoor and indoor installations of thermal fluid systems.

Thermal fluid systems play a vital role in various industrial applications, providing efficient heat transfer for processes requiring high temperatures. To ensure optimal performance and safe operation of these systems, it is essential to follow best practices during installation and operation. Here are HEAT’s recommendations and key concerns for installing and maintaining thermal fluid systems.
