THERMIC FLUID HEATERTHE UNITHERM SYSTEM : ‘The UNITHERM Thermic Fluid Heating System essentially comprises of A lully automatic 3-pass, wet-back package, oil ot gas fired heater in which the thermic fluid can be heated up to 300°C at near atmospheric pressure The hot thermic fluid is cieulated in a closed cycle by high temperature centrifugal pump and the heat is dissipated to the process through appropriate heat exchangers in the user equipment circuit. A combined dearator cum expansion tank incorporated in the system, efficiently removes any liberated gases as well as absorbes the thermic fluid expansion during heating process Due to drain tank and top up pump, the plant can be partially drained for servicing, A contol panel consists all the necessary control and switching elements as well the necessary indications for safe and automatic operation of UNITHERM plant 1 UNTER HEATER (0 OVER FLOW LINE 18 FLOW SAFETY Device 2 BURNER NARVENT 19 HIGH FEED TEMPERATURE CO 3 CIRCULATING PUMP 12 FED UNE 20 BURNER SAFETY CUT OF “4 TOP.UP PUMP (MOTORISED OR MANUAL) TURN LINE 21 STACK TEMPERATURE 5 SEPARATOR, 14 TEMPERATURE INDICATOR CUM CONTROLLER 92 LOW LEVEL CONTROLLER {EXPANSION TANK 15 TEMPERATURE INDICATOR CUM CONTROLLER 29 OILLEVEL GAUGE DRAIN TANK, 16 CIRCUIT PRESSURE GAUGE 24 SAFETY VALV {8 EXPANSION LIN 17 PUMP PRESSURE GALIGE 25 HEAT CONSUMER Wm ‘9 DEARATOR LINEGnilherm-Tk 3-PASS WET BACK THERMIC FLUID HEATER The liquid phase thermic heater has Isotex have manufactured liquid phase thermic established as the most economical indirect fluid heeter since 1979 and have over 1000 heating system for industrial process heating. Its installations in continous operation throughout India. The Unitherm TK series incorporates the new technology for higher efficiency and better ‘operational economy. superiority as a heat source over steam, hot water, hot air, and electricity has established it as the best alternative.

It emoodies an integral combustion chamber arranged as a nest of concentric helical tue coil manufactured from the seamless tubes recommended for high temperature service. The concentric coils are placed within a shell of Mild Steel assembly. The Concentric coil and oil cooled jacket (wet back) allow three flue passes to ensure low rate of heat release and maximum heat transfer, The design incorporates very litle refractory work on the front hinged door to keep thermal inertia low. This new 3-pass wet back design ensures maximum absorption of heat and flue gas temperature at less than 300°C in a standerd heater. Heater of larger size (ebove 1 milion kcals/hr) is provided with suitable air pre-heater s0 as to reduce stack temperature upto 170°C The heater is equipped with a fully automatic pressure-atomising type 2-stage or modulating coil/gas bumer. The bumer is of monoblock onstruction and can be hinged to left or right. This simplifies the work on combustion head, Giffuser, nozzles and ignition electrodes. ‘The burners for heavy oil are equipped with electric or media oll preheaters, heated nozzle head, pump and solenoid valves, (During prepurge heated oil flows through the nozzle head oil line system. This ensures that for flame establishment evenly heated oil is available). This nozzle recirculation and positive shut off at nozzle tip ensures trouble free opeation even if temperature drops down to below zero degree celsius. Special burners are available for any other kind of liquid/gas fuels.UNIT WITH INDUSTRIAL BURNER FUEL SYSTEMS BURNER (Preheated Version) Two stage and modulating regulation A & Ojlis released at start when solenoid valve Jopens. 1m Full load is reached when solenoid valve 2 opens. The capacity is regulated by opening and closing solenoid valve 2, Bm The oll quantity for the starting load is released when the nozzle needle opens.

Ae on on Unit offering 92 + 2% efficiency is incorporeted cea with preheated version of bumers developed for special industrial and commercial application. In certain industrial process (ie. thermic fluid boilers) very z high rate of flue gas temperature occurs due on on to the high heat trensfer media temperature, ‘A tremendous amount of energy can be retrieved by instaling a heat exchanger (air preheater) in the flue gas path which otherwise being lost thru stack, G-full ood In the process of cross-mixing the hot flue gas and teat ee Z-lgnition load primary combustion air in the heat recovery device APH) the primary air recovers the excess heat from flue gas and goes to bumer block and the temperature of flue gas exhaust will not be more than 170°-190" c Graph A : Two stage Graph B : Modulating This technology application results in an improvement of efficiency upto 8-10%.

This pump meets all the AP! specification. its Cast Stee! construction, water, cooled legs, water jacketed stuffing box and water cooled heavy duty reinforced bearings ensure longer service life. It can be equipped with suitable mechanical seal for zero leakage. The back pull design of pump ensures easy maintenance. The rotating parts can be replaced with minimum down time without disturbing motor and casing. The reassembly operation requires a minimum of effort in realigning the coupling since the motor and casing are undisturbed and remain in good alignment, EXPANSION CUM DEARATOR TANK : The combined dearator cum expansion tank effectively removes any liberated gases to prevent cavitation in the pump and accomodates expansion of thermic fluid. Design ensures very low temperature in the expansion tank to prevent ‘oxidation of oil to ensure longer life to the costly thermic fluid More than 15 different sizes are available, from 200 ltrs. to 5000 ltrs. so that correct size can be. selected to sult individual requirement, Expansion cum dearator tank is hydraulically tested to 150 psig. FILL AND DRAIN SYSTEM Comprises a Thermic Fluid Storage Tank of suitable capacity, a motorised thermic fluid top up pump and inter connecting pipings and fittings In this system the thermic fluid overflow line from Expansion tank is directly connected to the rage tank and hence in case of over flow the costly thermic fluid will not go waste. This system is an optional feature. INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROLS The UNITHERM-TK js fully automatic and safe for unattended operation. The normal operation of the system is governed by a master sequence controller which, in the event of abnormal ‘operating conditions sounds and audible alarm and trips the unit to stop. Symbols are provided (on the lock out indicator which indicates the. kind of fault. Once the fault is cleared the controller automatically restarts the unit. The full complement of safety interlocks, indicators and alarm are mounted in modular control panel boxes. AUTO CONTROLS & SAFETIES Thermic fluid feed temperature indicator cum controller Automatic bumer cut off and temperature indication, Thermic fluid return temperature indicator cum controller Automatic burner cut off and temperature indication High feed temperature controller ‘Audio-visual alarm and automatic burner cut off.
