Heat Transfer System
Heat transfer systems or also known as thermal transfer systems or Temperature Control Units, are designed to provide indirect heat to processes using a thermal transfer fluid. Thermal Transfer fluids include water, glycol, water-glycol mixtures, and thermal oils. Heat transfer systems provide heating and cooling of exothermic processes. Heating and cooling can be accomplished using the same thermal transfer fluid. Heat Transfer Systems are used when close even temperatures are required across the process.
Gaumer Process provides standard and custom thermal transfer systems. Capabilities include complete engineering, manufacturing in house and field service for startups. Standard document package includes P&ID, General arrangement drawings, equipment and instrument data sheets, and installation and operation manual (IOM).
Pre-Engineered and proven design that has been field tested under rugged conditions at temperatures up to 750°F (400°C) | Low point fill connection for filling the system from the bottom to properly vent the system |
Low Watt Density Alloy 800 sheath elements | Flexible pump inlet and outlet connections to protect pump from piping thermal growth |
Unique “Buffer Tank” factory installed to prevent degradation of thermal oils in atmospheric expansion tanks. Buffer tank prevents hot oil from entering the atmospheric tank | All welded construction with flanged connections |
Self-venting horizontal heating chamber eliminates the need to manually vent the heater | Piping insulated with non-wicking insulation to prevent fire hazard |
Mechanically sealed pumps to eliminate constant dripping that occurs with packed seals | Nema 12/4 industrial SCR control panel for precise control |
Positive displacement pumps for lower flows with integral pressure relief valve | Heating element sensing sensor to prevent over temperature and damage to equipment in the event of fault. Sensor is connected to a certified over temperature controller |
Centrifugal pumps for higher flows | PID Temperature Controller for accurate temperature control |
Expansion tank either mounted on the system or shipped separate for mounting above the process |
