HCI Thermal Fluid Heaters | Process Heaters

The Heatec HCI thermal fluid heater is an industrial heater commonly used in closed-loop thermal fluid heat transfer systems. The heater is designed around a helical coil. Thermal fluid flows through the helical coil, gaining radiant and convective heat from hot burner gases. The heated thermal fluid then transfers heat to end users such as tanks, presses, dryers, reactors, chillers, extruders, steam generators, or other equipment. The heater's two-pass design provides high efficiency, simplicity and low maintenance. Heating coils meet ASME code.

HCI heaters can also be designed as process heaters. In a process heating application, HCI heaters heat liquid or gas products as they flow through the heating coils of the heater. Process heating applications include heating vegetable oil for cooking, heating natural gas for gas regeneration, heating fuel gas or inlet air for power generation, and many others.

Heaters that meet your needs
HCI thermal fluid heaters and process heaters are available in both horizontal and vertical configurations. Several models are available in each configuration. Rated thermal outputs range from 0.5 to 60 million Btu/hour. All can be customized to meet your specific needs.

High Efficiency Reduces Costs
A hallmark of our HCI helical coil heater is high efficiency. This conserves fuel to greatly reduce operating costs. Thermal efficiencies of our heaters range up to 91.5 percent LHV, depending upon fluid outlet temperature, fuel and options.

The easy way
Getting a new heater for thermal fluid or for process heating can be a difficult venture. You need someone to design it for your specific needs. Someone to build and pre-test it. Someone to install it. Someone to tune and calibrate it. Moreover, you'll need availability of parts and service for ensuing years. All at a cost you can afford. In time to meet your schedules.

Wouldn't it be easy if the same people did all these things. No passing of the buck.

Well, that's exactly what we at Heatec do. We handle the job from start to finish. We then provide support to keep your heater in tip-top shape. Affordable costs. On time.
