Industrial Fluid Heater
Item Name Code (INC) 04042
![]() |
An apparatus designed to raise the temperature of a fluid by bringing it into proximity with another fluid of higher temperature so that heat transfer is effected by direct contact or by passing those fluids through pipe(s), tube(s), or coils which are submerged in a tank of hot water or steam which is supplied from an outside source. The fluid is never stored in this tank. Excludes air conditioning, electric fluid heaters, and refrigeration equipment.
Additional Information for Industrial Fluid Heater
Industrial Fluid Heaters are a type of heat exchanger used in various industrial processes to heat fluids. They are part of the supply class Heat Exchangers and Steam Condensers, which falls under the supply group Furnace, Steam Plant, and Drying Equipment; and Nuclear Reactors.
Industrial Fluid Heaters are designed to efficiently transfer heat from a heat source, such as steam or hot gases, to a fluid that needs to be heated. They are commonly used in applications such as oil and gas processing, chemical manufacturing, power generation, and food processing.
These heaters typically consist of a shell and tube design, where the fluid to be heated flows through the tubes while the heating medium flows around the tubes in the shell. The heat transfer occurs through conduction between the fluid and the heating medium.
Industrial Fluid Heaters are known for their high thermal efficiency, reliability, and versatility. They can be customized to meet specific process requirements, including temperature, pressure, and fluid compatibility. Additionally, they can be designed to handle a wide range of fluid types, including water, oil, gas, and steam.
Overall, Industrial Fluid Heaters play a crucial role in industrial processes by providing efficient and controlled heating of fluids, contributing to the overall productivity and efficiency of various industries.
