Wanson Thermal Oil Boiler

• Providing high-temperature heat for industrial processes without the need for high-pressure steam.
• Heating reactors, presses, and dryers in chemical, pharmaceutical, and textile industries.
• Used in food processing for frying, baking, and other heat transfer applications.
• Supplying heat to calendar rolls, laminating machines, and moulding presses in manufacturing.

Typical thermal output

For a TPC600C model, thermal output typically ranges from 500 kW to 700 kW, depending on design specifics.

Operating temperature

Units of this type commonly operate with thermal oil temperatures up to 300-350°C, suitable for high-temperature processes.

Fuel type

Wanson thermal oil boilers are typically designed to run on natural gas, LPG, light oil, or heavy oil, with some models offering multi-fuel capability.

Power supply

Ancillary equipment such as pumps and controls commonly require a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint can vary, but typically requires a dedicated plant room space, often several square metres.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance typically involves checking burner efficiency, thermal fluid condition, and system integrity to ensure safe and efficient operation.

• What are the advantages of a thermal oil boiler over a steam boiler?

  Thermal oil boilers operate at atmospheric or low pressure, even at high temperatures, reducing safety risks and regulatory burdens compared to high-pressure steam systems. They also avoid issues like corrosion and water treatment.

• What type of thermal oil is typically used?

• Are these units suitable for outdoor installation?

• What kind of controls are typically included?

• What is the typical lifespan of a Wanson thermal oil boiler?

Heat exchangers are considered reliable workhorses in food processing operations. Buyers typically value their efficiency in temperature control and consistent performance across production runs. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine gasket and seal condition, check for corrosion or scaling inside tubes, and verify maintenance history. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers with proven track records. Key strengths include durability when properly maintained, relatively straightforward repairs, and compatibility with existing systems. Buyers often prioritise plate and frame designs for their flexibility and ease of cleaning.
