Thermic fluid heater - FLUIDTHERM
Fluidtherm is a high-efficiency thermic fluid heater designed to deliver consistent and controlled indirect heating for various industrial applications. It uses specially formulated thermal oil—known as thermic fluid—as the heat transfer medium. Often referred to as a Thermal Oil Heater, Thermal Oil Boiler, or Hot Oil Boiler, Fluidtherm is engineered to meet the demands of processes requiring precise and reliable thermal energy.
The TFH (thermic fluid heater) system is available in both oil/gas-fired and solid fuel-fired configurations.
In oil and gas-fired models, a high-performance burner generates hot combustion gases inside a furnace. These gases pass over helical or serpentine coils carrying the thermic fluid, transferring heat through conduction and convection.
In solid fuel-fired models, fuels such as coal, wood, or biomass are burned on a grate or in a combustion chamber. The resulting hot flue gases similarly flow across the coil surfaces to heat the thermic fluid circulating within.
The heated fluid is then pumped through a closed-loop system to process equipment such as dryers, reactors, heat exchangers, and jacketed vessels. After delivering the required heat, the cooled fluid returns to the thermic fluid heater Fluidtherm for reheating.
Each TFH (thermic fluid heater) system is equipped with essential components like a high-temperature circulating pump, expansion tank, control panel, and safety interlocks to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation. With its multi-fuel flexibility and robust design, Thermic Fluid heater Fluidtherm is an ideal solution for industries seeking clean, continuous, and energy-efficient heating.

Thermic fluid heater related FAQs
A thermic fluid heater (TFH) uses a heat transfer fluid (thermal oil) to indirectly deliver heat to industrial processes. Unlike steam boilers, TFHs operate at low pressure even at high temperatures (up to 400°C), making them safer for applications like chemical processing, textiles, and food production. The closed-loop system ensures continuous heat circulation without fluid loss.
TFHs support multiple fuels:
- Natural gas: Affordable, efficient, and low-emission but subject to price fluctuations.
- Diesel: High energy content but produces higher emissions.
- Coal/Solid fuels: Cost-effective for large-scale operations.
- Biomass: Eco-friendly option gaining traction in sustainable industries.
Thermic fluid heaters are highly energy-efficient, optimizing fuel use to reduce operating costs. Their design minimizes heat loss, achieving thermal efficiencies up to 85-90% while maintaining precise temperature control (100°F–750°F).
Oil heaters (e.g., thermal oil systems) work via indirect heating:
- Fuel combustion generates heat in a chamber.
- Thermal oil absorbs heat and circulates through a closed loop.
- Heat exchangers transfer energy to processes.
- Cooled oil returns to the heater for reheating.
TFH stands for Thermic Fluid Heater.
Similar to TFHs, thermal oil boilers:
- Burn fuel to heat oil in a combustion chamber.
- Circulate oil via pumps to deliver heat.
- Maintain consistent temperatures without high-pressure risks.
Efficiency is typically calculated as:
Efficiency (%)=(Heat Output / Fuel Input)×100
Exact methods depend on system design and thermal fluid properties. Consult manufacturer guidelines for precise metrics.
Capacity depends on thermal load:
Q= m×Cp×ΔT
Where:
Q = Heat load (kW)
m = Mass flow rate of fluid (kg/s)
Cp = Specific heat of fluid (kJ/kg°C)
ΔT = Temperature difference (°C)
Safety: Low-pressure operation reduces explosion risks.
Precision: Stable temperature control (±1°C).
Versatility: Compatible with diverse fuels and high-temperature applications.
Cost-effective: Lower maintenance and fuel costs compared to steam systems.
