Efficiency issues with heat transfer oil furnaces?
Thread Content
Does the heat transfer oil furnace lose efficiency over time as it is used? For example, will the outlet temperature drop significantly? What are the possible reasons and solutions? How can it be maintained or serviced to ensure optimal performance?
As the heat transfer oil is used for an extended period of time, the increase in gums and acid value, along with changes in the equipment’s structure, all affect the heat transfer efficiency, resulting in a decrease in performance. The furnace outlet temperature will gradually increase as the production cycle lengthens, due to the inability to meet the production requirements
1. Regularly test the heat transfer oil by checking parameters such as acid value, residual carbon, viscosity, flash point, boiling range, and freezing point, and compare them with the standards; if any values exceed the limits, replace the oil promptly. 2. Remove the dust and dirt that need to be cleaned from the heat transfer oil furnace in a timely manner. In short, regular inspection and maintenance are the fundamental guarantee for the long-term stable operation and heat supply of heat transfer oil furnaces.

During high-temperature heating, heat transfer oil is continuously oxidized, which leads to the formation of sludge and scale that adhere to the pipe walls, affecting the temperature requirements of the heating units. Additionally, the calorific value of the heat transfer oil decreases as well ； If this situation has already occurred: 1. Clean the system as soon as possible, and regenerate or replace the heat transfer oil ； 2. To avoid such occurrences: (1) Proper anti-oxidation measures must be taken ； (2) Install filters at the population areas of the usage units. Wait. Discussion QQ: 525224195
