The difference between thermal oil boiler and hot water boiler
Boiler products can be divided according to their use: steam boilers, hot water boilers, boiling water boilers and thermal oil boilers.
1. A steam boiler is a working process in which a boiler burns fuel to generate steam through heating in the boiler;
2. Hot water boiler is a boiler product that produces hot water;
3. The boiling water boiler is a boiler that provides people with boiling water that can be drank directly;
4. Thermal oil furnace heats the thermal oil in the boiler by burning other fuels, resulting in a high-temperature working process.
Thermal oil furnaces, steam boilers, and hot water boilers are mainly different in terms of working principles, products, and uses.
1. The thermal oil furnace uses thermal oil as the circulating medium, uses energy consumption to heat the thermal oil, and transports the heated thermal oil to the heating equipment through a high-temperature oil pump, and then returns to the oil furnace through the oil outlet of the heating equipment. This reciprocation forms a heating system; hot water boilers use hot water as the circulating medium, and the specific working principle is similar to that of oil furnaces; steam boilers use electricity, oil, and gas as energy sources, using heating rods or burners to heat water into steam, and then The steam is transported through pipes to the heat-consuming equipment.
2. The thermal oil furnace produces thermal oil, the hot water boiler produces hot water, and the corresponding steam boiler produces steam.
3. Thermal oil furnaces are mostly used in industrial production, such as preheating cold materials in refineries, mineral oil processing, etc.;
4. Hot water boilers are mainly used for heating and bathing.
For steam boilers, hot water boilers and thermal oil furnaces, hot water boilers are usually related to people’s lives, such as winter heating, bathing in bathhouses, etc., while steam boilers and thermal oil furnaces are mostly used for industrial production needs, such as brick factories, In chemical plants, paper mills, garment factories and other industries, steam boilers can be used in almost all heat-consuming industries.
Of course, everyone will have their own opinions on the choice of heating equipment, but no matter how we choose, we must take safety into consideration. For example, compared with water, the boiling point of thermal oil is much higher, the corresponding temperature is also higher, and the risk factor is greater.
In summary, the differences between thermal oil furnaces, steam boilers, and hot water boilers are basically the above points, which can be used as a reference when purchasing equipment.
