Thermic Fluid Heater
A Thermic Fluid Heater is a closed-loop heating system that uses specialized thermal oils as heat transfer fluids. It provides uniform and efficient heat for industrial processes, operating at high temperatures without requiring high-pressure systems. Ideal for industries needing precise temperature control, it ensures energy efficiency and operational safety.

Thermic Fluid Heaters designed by PP Boilers are engineered to deliver consistent heat transfer for applications such as chemical processing, food production, textile manufacturing, and more. These systems circulate thermally stable oils through a closed loop, absorbing heat in the heater and releasing it at process points. Key design elements include:
- Closed-Loop System: Minimizes heat loss and reduces fuel consumption.
- Non-Pressurized Operation: Safe for high-temperature applications (up to 300°C+).
- Fuel Flexibility: Compatible with biomass, diesel, gas, or agro-waste fuels.
- Automated Controls: Ensures precise temperature regulation and operational safety.
Key Points
- High Operating Temperatures: Thermic Fluid Heaters can achieve higher temperatures than steam boilers, making them suitable for processes requiring high heat levels.
- Precise Temperature Control: They offer accurate and consistent temperature control, essential for sensitive industrial applications.
- Lower Operating Pressure: They operate at lower pressures compared to steam boilers, enhancing safety and reducing the risk of explosions.
- Reduced Maintenance: Thermic fluid systems typically require less maintenance than steam systems as they eliminate the need for water treatment and steam traps.
- Energy Efficiency: The closed-loop design and precise temperature control contribute to energy efficiency, reducing operating costs
