2024 ASTEC Mobile Screens Heatec Hci Industrial Heaters

Astec specializes in thermal fluid heaters and process heaters, especially those with helical coils heated by fired burners. Whether known as helical coil, hot oil or HMO (heat medium oil) heaters, extremely versatile Heatec HCI heaters provide reliable service in a wide variety of industries.

Typical outputs are in the range of 0.5 to 80 million BTU/hr. Larger sizes are available but may require more field assembly.

Thermal fluid heaters utilize an indirect heating method by heating a liquid medium in the heater and then transfers heat to the end user. Some common transfer fluids are oil, water glycol mixture, and gases. Thermal fluid heaters are often referred to as: Hot Oil Heaters, HMO Heaters, Thermic Fluid Heaters, Fired Heaters.

Features may include:

• Heatec HCI heaters incorporate a helical coil design for maximum efficiency and durability. We take special care to design our heaters for optimum geometry of the combustion chamber and the flux density of the helical coil. Thus, our coil has a large heat transfer surface area to provide much lower heat flux rates than those commonly used by others. Our design virtually eliminates flame impingement and provides optimum flame pattern. The coil is built to ASME code. Astec builds both 2-pass and 3-pass heaters and all of our units are fully customizable.

• Heatec HCI heaters are built in a horizontal or vertical orientation. Vertical orientation has a smaller footprint for facilities where space is tight. Both styles have the same features and efficiencies.
