Thermal Fluid Heating
​
Thermal Fluid Heating is an indirect heating process where a thermal fluid, typically thermal oil or water-glycol, is circulated and heated within a closed loop. This heat energy is then harnessed and used for various things depending on your application or process. Wechsler's Opti-Therm thermal fluid heating systems are capable of temperatures up to 750°F, come in a variety of sizes, and can be customized to your specific application needs.
Thermal Fluid Heaters
Thermal fluid heaters, also known as process heaters, hot oil heaters, and glycol heaters, are fully integrated, closed-loop systems that heat large amounts of thermal fluid for a wide variety of uses depending on the application. Comprised of several components including a storage tank, heat exchanger, oil pump, and thermal fluid, Wechsler's Opti-Therm thermal fluid heaters are an integrated solution that can be customized to fit your thermal fluid needs and application.
