HC-series hot oil heater with manifold for multiple thermal fluid circuits and optional Stackpack™ economizer.
 |
Heatec hot oil heaters (thermal fluid heaters) for the hot mix asphalt (HMA) industry are designed around a helical coil. Our coil meets ASME code.
Although we make several other types of thermal fluid heaters for other industries, our helical coil heaters are the most popular hot oil heater in the HMA industry. Their popularity comes from their simplicity, efficiency, low maintenance and relatively low cost.
Models and outputs
Nine standard models are available. Rated thermal outputs range from 0.7 to 4 million Btu per hour. All can be customized to meet your specific needs.
Two basic configurations
Heatec hot oil heaters are available in two basic configurations: HC and HCS. The HC configuration (shown above) has a manifold that enables the heater to operate with multiple thermal fluid circuits.
The HCS configuration is virtually identical to the HC except that it is intended to operate with a single circuit. It has no manifold.

HCS heater can be upgraded
However, the HCS heater can be upgraded to the HC configuration by adding an optional manifold. The upgrade can be done at any time as needed.
Helical coils
Helical coils in our heaters set us apart from others that produce helical coil heaters for the HMA industry. We are the only heater manufacturer that builds all coils to ASME code. Certification is optional.
Coils in HCS heaters have a three year warranty. Coils in HC heaters have a five year warranty.
Insulation
The shell of our heater is fully insulated with 3 inches of ceramic fiberglass insulation. The end plates are also insulated. All insulation is treated to retard errosion.

Options
Options include: Stackpack heat exchanger, seven-day time clock, sock filter, automated monitor (dialer), burners for various fuels, and steel valves. A variety of electrical power options are available.
Factory testing and startup
All HC and HCS heaters are factory-tested. We provide startup services with fees based on time at site plus travel time and expenses.
Warranty and factory support
Our heaters have a one-year limited warranty. Additionally, the coils have an extended warranty as noted earlier. Round-the-clock support is available from our in-house parts and service departments.
