Oil doesn’t like to cooperate when it’s cold. Heavy crude turns sluggish, thick, almost stubborn. Wax starts dropping out of solution in a pipeline. A storage tank that flowed fine in summer becomes a problem in January. Heat is what keeps all of it moving, and in a lot of oil and gas operations, the […]
Thermal transfer systems are a complex combination of mechanical components and fluids working dynamically in order to transfer heat from one individual system to another directly or indirectly. Thermal transfer employs the movement of thermal energy between two physical systems of different temperatures to achieve an equilibrium of temperatures among them. We observe this phenomenon […]
Heat transfer fluids play an invaluable role in circulation heaters and industrial heating processes. While all sorts of processes use these fluids, there is no single fluid type that is ideal for all operations. Instead, there are a number of factors that determine the right heat transfer fluid for each process. Heat Transfer Fluid Selection […]
Molten salts are melted minerals used in various heating applications. Nitrate salts are the most common, although bromides, chlorides, fluorides, and even organic salts are used for this purpose. They are capable of operating under versatile temperatures and conditions, making them ideal for many heating applications. This article examines the key advantages and applications of […]
Industrial heating systems, like circulation heaters, generally use either water or glycol mixtures for fluids. In applications where glycol is a suitable fluid, it is almost always the superior option. This article examines the benefits of glycol and its uses in industrial heating processes. Key Benefits of Glycol in Industrial Heating Systems Temperature Glycol has […]
