 INTRODUCTION
IN INDIRECT HEATING SYSTEMS, HEAT FROM ELECTRIC ENERGY IS
TRANSFERRED TO A LIQUID OR A GAS AND CARRIED BY THIS
MEDIUM TO THE AREA OR PROCESS WHERE IT IS NEEDED. THIS
METHOD, EXAMPLES OF WHICH DATE BACK TO ANCIENT TIMES,
MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN CLOSE CONTROL OF
TEMPERATURES, AND TO SUPPLY HEAT TO A NUMBER OF
PROCESSES OR AREAS FROM ONE PRIMARY HEATING UNIT AND
TO LOCATE THAT UNIT IN THE MOST CONVENIENT PLACE. THE
MOST COMMON EXAMPLE OF INDIRECT HEATING IS THAT USED
FOR BUILDING HEATING WHERE WATER, STEAM OR AIR IS USED
AS THE HEAT-TRANSFER MEDIUM.

PREPARATION
1) THE UNIT IS FURNISHED AS A PACKAGED OR UNIT ASSEMBLY, WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF THE EXPANSION TANK. AFTER UNCRATING, THE
UNIT SHOULD BE LIFTED USING THE LIFTING LUGS AT EACH END OF
THE VESSEL.

2) THE UNIT SHOULD BE MOUNTED ON A LEVEL BASE, FOOTINGS OR

FOUNDATION. FASTEN ONE (1) END ONLY TO ALLOW FOR
EXPANSION.

3) ALL PIPING SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED, AND MILL SCALE,

DEBRIS AND OTHER FOREIGN PARTICLES SHOULD BE REMOVED.

4
 MATERIALS
COPPER AND COPPER ALLOYS SHOULD BE AVOIDED IN HOT-OIL
SYSTEMS SINCE THEY ARE POWERFUL CATALYSTS PROMOTING
OXIDATION AND SLUDGING. EXCEPTIONS MAY BE MADE FOR SMALL
PARTS, SUCH AS VALVES, INSTRUMENTS AND BUSHINGS. IRON AND
CARBON STEEL ARE PREFERRED FOR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SUCH AS
ASTM A-53 OR ASTM A-106 SEAMLESS.

SMALL SYSTEMS USING PIPE OF 1 DIAMETER OR SMALLER SHOULD

USE AN ASA SCHEDULE 80 SIZE WITH SCREWED CONNECTIONS. THESE
THREADED CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE TO GAUGE AND CLEAN
CUT, HOWEVER, A SUITABLE PIPE COMPOUND MAY BE USED TO
FACILITATE MAKING OF JOINTS, BUT IT MUST NOT BE DEPENDED UPON
TO MAKE UP FOR POOR FIT OF THE THREADS.

LARGE SYSTEMS USING PIPING OVER 1 DIAMETER SHOULD BE MADE

WITH ASA SCHEDULE 40 PIPE AND 150# FLANGED JOINTS. THE
FLANGES SHOULD HAVE A RAISED FACE WITH A SMOOTH FINISH AND
MAY BE SEALED USING SUITABLE FABRICATED GASKETS.

THERMAL EXPANSION
LIKE ALL FLUIDS, HEAT TRANSFER OIL EXPANDS WHEN HEATED. THE
EXTENT OF EXPANSION VARIES, OF COURSE, WITH THE NUMBER OF
DEGREES (TEMPERATURE) THROUGH WHICH THE FLUID IS HEATED AND
WITH THE PARTICULAR FLUID INVOLVED. THIS EXPANSION CAN BE
CONSIDERABLE AND MEANS MUST BE PROVIDED IN THE SYSTEM TO
TAKE CARE OF IT. FOR EXAMPLE, 100 GALLONS OF OIL AT 50F WILL
BECOME 114 GALLONS WHEN HEATED TO 450F. THE ACTUAL
EXPANSION IN A GIVEN SITUATION CAN BE CALCULATED FROM THE
EQUATION:
Percent Increase in Volume = .035 x Rise in Temperature (F)
-OR-
Percent Increase in Volume = .063 x Rise in Temperature (C)

5
 EXPANSION TANK
THE EXPANSION TANK OF THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM IS THE ELEMENT
WHICH TOO OFTEN RECEIVES THE LEAST ENGINEERING
CONSIDERATION. YET, A CORRECTLY DESIGNED TANK IS IMPORTANT
FOR TROUBLE FREE OPERATION.
THE CORRECTLY DESIGNED EXPANSION TANK PERMITS EXPANSION OF
THE OIL, AS IT IS HEATED TO OPERATION TEMPERATURE, WITHOUT
EXPOSING HOT OIL TO AIR. IT FUNCTIONS AS AN OIL SEAL TO
ACCOMMODATE THE INCREASED VOLUME OF THE EXPANDED OIL IN A
QUANTITY OF COLDER OIL WHICH COMES IN CONTACT WITH ONLY A
LIMITED AMOUNT OF AIR. THE LOW TEMPERATURE OF SUCH AN OIL
SEAL WILL CONTRIBUTE MATERIALLY TO LONG SERVICE LIFE OF THE
OIL. IN GENERAL, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE TANK SHOULD NOT BE
OVER 130F.
A SECONDARY, BUT IMPORTANT, FUNCTION OF THE EXPANSION TANK IS
TO PROVIDE A MEANS FOR THE ESCAPE OR INTAKE OF AIR AS THE OIL
LEVEL IN THE TANK RISES AND LOWERS. THE TANK MUST BE VENTED
TO PERMIT THE ESCAPE OF AIR, AND MUST BE PLACED AT AN
ELEVATION ABOVE ALL OUTLETS. IT IS CONNECTED TO THE PUMP
SUCTION, OR RETURN, LINE.
IN THE INTEREST OF MAINTAINING COOL OIL IN THE EXPANSION TANK,
THE CONNECTING PIPE LINE AND THE TANK SHOULD NOT BE
INSULATED. LARGE-DIAMETER LINES SHOULD BE AVOIDED SINCE THEY
PERMIT CONVECTION CURRENTS TO HEAT THE OIL IN THE TANK. LINES
SHOULD BE ONLY LARGE ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF SURGES CAUSED
BY RAPID TEMPERATURE RISE AND FALL. THROTTLING THE LINE OR
INSTALLING AN ORIFICE SO THAT FLOW IS RESTRICTED MAY HELP
MINIMIZE CONVECTION HEATING.
THE EXPANSION TANK IS CRATED SEPARATELY WITH SOME UNITS AND
IS FURNISHED AS A SEPARATE COMPONENT FOR FIELD MOUNTING AT A
LOCATION ABOVE THE HIGHEST POINT IN THE SYSTEM. (FOR EXAMPLE,
IN ASPHALT PLANTS IT IS USUALLY MOUNTED ON THE PLANT
STRUCTURE SUPPORTS ABOVE THE WEIGH BUCKET AND PUG MILL). IT
IS FITTED WITH A FLOAT SWITCH AND LIQUID LEVEL SIGHT GAUGE.
THE FLOAT SWITCH IS A PROTECTIVE DEVICE WHICH SHUTS DOWN THE
HEAT TRANSFER UNIT IN THE EVENT OF OIL LEAKAGE RESULTING IN
LOW LEVEL IN THE SYSTEM.
6
 INSTALLATION

1) IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER PROVIDE NECESSARY

PIPING AND ARRANGE FOR PARALLEL FLOW CIRCUITS. THE REASON
FOR PARALLEL FLOW CIRCUITS WITH CONTROL VALVES (INSTEAD OF
SERIES PIPING) IS TO INSURE THAT ALL JACKETED EQUIPMENT IS
UNIFORMLY HEATED.

2) AN ALL IRON THROTTLING VALVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE

RETURN LINE FROM EACH OIL CIRCUIT. ITS PURPOSE IS TO
REGULATE THE AMOUNT OF FLOW (AND HEAT DELIVERED) TO EACH
CIRCUIT.
3) THE COLD OIL RETURN LINE IS AT THE PUMP SUCTION AND THE
HEATED OIL SUPPLY LINE IS AT THE CONTROL PANEL END OF THE
HEATER.

4) ALL OIL INLETS SHOULD BE AT THE LOWER PORTION OF THE

JACKETS AND OUTLETS SHOULD BE NEAR THE UPPER PORTION. IN
GENERAL, ARRANGE THE SUPPLY SO THAT THE OIL IS BEING
CIRCULATED UPWARDS TO THE HIGHEST POINT IN THE SYSTEM.
5) A LINE SHOULD BE PROVIDED BETWEEN THE BOTTOM
OPENING OF THE EXPANSION TANK AND THE OPENING ON
THE TEE FITTING AT THE SUCTION SIDE OF THE CIRCULATING
PUMP. (SEE SCHEMATIC DRAWING #1)
6) CAUTION: THIS UNIT MUST NEVER BE OPERATED UNLESS THE
EXPANSION LINE IS OPEN.

7) TWO VENTS ARE PROVIDED ON THE UNIT PIPING TO ASSIST IN

RELIEVING ENTRAINED AIR WHEN FILLING THE SYSTEM.
PERIODICALLY DURING NORMAL OPERATION THESE VENTS SHOULD
BE OPENED TO RELIEVE ANY ADDITIONAL VAPORS THAT MAY
ACCUMULATE.
8) ADDITIONAL SIMPLE VENTS SHOULD BE INSTALLED AT HIGH
POINTS IN THE PIPING TO RELIEVE ENTRAINED AIR,
PARTICULARLY WHEN FILLING THE SYSTEM, UNIONS AND
PLUGS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR VENTING.

7
NOTE: PUMP CAPACITY MUST BE SUFFICIENT TO CIRCULATE THE
OIL AT A RATE THAT WILL PROVIDE THE HEAT REQUIRED BY THE
USERS, PLUS HEAT LOSSES, WITH A REASONABLE TEMPERATURE
DROP OF 20F TO 50F BETWEEN THE INCOMING AND OUTGOING
OIL FLOW.
9) A HIGH TEMPERATURE CENTRIFUGAL HEAT TRANSFER OIL
CIRCULATING PUMP HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH THE UNIT.
ROTATION SHOULD BE AS INDICATED ON THE UNIT.

10) PUMPS ARE PLACED SO THAT THEY DISCHARGE TO THE OIL

HEATER. THEIR SUCTIONS SHOULD BE UNDER POSITIVE
PRESSURE TO PREVENT AIR FROM BEING DRAWN INTO THE
SYSTEM THROUGH THE PUMP-SHAFT SEALS, IN ORDER TO
AVOID THE CONSEQUENT BAD EFFECTS OF AIR ON THE OIL
AND SYSTEM.
11) ELECTRICALLY, IT IS ONLY NECESSARY TO BRING THE MAIN
ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO THE PANEL, CONNECTING IT TO THE
APPROPRIATE TERMINAL LUGS ON THE LINE SIDE OF THE
MAIN DISCONNECT SWITCH WITHIN THE PANEL.
12) AFTER THE EXPANSION TANK HAS BEEN SET IN PLACE, AFTER
THE HEAT TRANSFER UNIT HAS BEEN SET IN PLACE, AND
AFTER THE HEAT TRANSFER UNIT HAS BEEN POSITIONED ON
ITS FOUNDATION ONLY TWO (2) CONDUIT-ENCLOSED
CONDUCTORS MUST BE RUN FROM THE TERMINALS ON THE
FLOAT SWITCH (ON EXPANSION TANK) DOWN TO THE MAIN
CONTROL PANEL (OPENING HAS BEEN PROVIDED ON THE
BOTTOM OF THE PANEL) AND CONNECTED TO THE TERMINAL
BLOCK MARKED SUCH ON THE BACK PANEL. REMOVE THE
JUMPER WIRE IF INSTALLED.

8
 OPERATION

1) INITIAL FILLING AND START-UP: BEFORE A NEW SYSTEM IS

FILLED, IT IS NECESSARY TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL SAFETY AND
CONTROL DEVICES ARE IN WORKING ORDER, AND THAT THE
SYSTEM HAS BEEN PRESSURE TESTED FOR LEAKS. THIS
SHOULD NOT BE DONE WITH WATER AS IT IS TOO DIFFICULT TO
REMOVE COMPLETELY FROM THE SYSTEM. IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT TESTING FOR LEAKS BE DONE EITHER
WITH PRESSURIZED AIR ON THE INTERIOR AND SOAPY WATER
ON THE EXTERIOR OF ALL JOINTS OR WITH SAME GRADE OF OIL
TO BE USED IN SYSTEM.

2) INITIAL FILLING WITH HEAT TRANSFER FLUID: FILLING THE

SYSTEM SHOULD BE DONE SO THAT AIR IS REMOVED DURING
THE PROCESS. ONE METHOD RECOMMENDS PUMPING OUT THE
AIR WITH A VACUUM PUMP AND FILLING THE SYSTEM FROM THE
EXPANSION TANK. ALTHOUGH THIS HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF
ALSO REMOVING MOISTURE THAT MAY BE PRESENT FROM
CONDENSATION, A VACUUM PUMP SUITABLE FOR THIS
PURPOSE IS SELDOM READILY AVAILABLE.
3) LUBRICATING, HYDRAULIC AND OTHER OILS NOT SPECIFICALLY
DEVELOPED FOR HEAT TRANSFER SERVICE SHOULD NOT BE
USED. MANY HEAT TRANSFER FLUIDS ARE AVAILABLE, BUT IT IS
URGED THAT ANY PRODUCT USED BE STABLE (RESISTANT TO
DETERIORATION DUE TO THERMAL CRACKING), OXIDATION
RESISTANT, RESISTANT TO FOAMING AND WATER RETENTION,
CORROSION RESISTANT AND LOW IN VISCOSITY.
4) PLACE FRONT PANEL SWITCH TO FILL POSITION. THE SYSTEM
SHOULD BE FILLED INITIALLY AT THE STEEL VALVE LOCATED
BEFORE THE PUMP SUCTION INLET. THE OIL CAN BE PUMPED
THROUGH THE SYSTEM PIPING WITH VENT VALVES OPEN TO
RELIEVE ENTRAINED AIR.
5) CLOSE EACH VENT VALVE AFTER ALL AIR HAS BEEN EXPELLED.
6) AFTER THE EXPANSION LINE HAS BEEN CONNECTED TO THE
HEATER, THE SYSTEM CAN BE TOPPED OFF BY SLOWLY
FILLING THROUGH THE EXPANSION TANK UNTIL THE EXPANSION
9
 TANK IS FULL OF COLD HEAT TRANSFER OIL. NOTE: IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT ALL AIR AND VAPORS BE ELIMINATED FRO
PROPER OPERATION.
7) THE FLUID SHOULD BE CIRCULATED THROUGH THE SYSTEM
FOR THREE (3) TO FOUR (4) HOURS TO ELIMINATE AIR POCKETS
AND TO BE SURE THE SYSTEM IS FULL.
8) THE EXPANSION TANK LEVEL INDICATOR SHOULD SHOW ONE-
QUARTER FULL WHEN THE SYSTEM IS COLD.
9) AFTER INITIAL PERIOD OF CIRCULATION THE PUMP SUCTION
STRAINERS SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED IF
NECESSARY.
10) AFTER THE STRAINERS HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND THE
CIRCULATION PUMP PLACED IN OPERATION, THE HEATER CAN
BE TURNED ON.
11) PLACE FRONT PANEL SWITCH TO RUN POSITION. ON THE
INITIAL START-UP, THE STRAINER SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND
CLEANED IF NECESSARY.

12) AFTER INITIAL OPERATION (FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE (1) TO

TWO (2) HOURS AT 200F), SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM, CLOSE
THE MAIN VALVE AND CLEAN Y-STRAINER BASKET.

13) IF ANY WATER IS PRESENT, STEAM WILL FORM DURING THE

HEAT-UP PERIOD AND ITS EXPANSION WILL CAUSE BUMPING
AND FORCE OIL INTO THE EXPANSION TANK. FROTHING AND
OVERFLOW OF OIL CAN RESULT. BY BRINGING THE
TEMPERATURE UP SLOWLY, DIFFICULTIES WITH WATER WILL BE
MINIMIZED. SOME WATER VAPOR WILL BE RELEASED THROUGH
THE EXPANSION TANK, BUT VENTS AT THE HIGH POINTS MAY
HAVE TO BE CRACKED OPEN TO RELIEVE STEAM THAT
COLLECTS AT SUCH POINTS. DIFFICULTIES WITH WATER CAN
BE LARGELY AVOIDED IF, AS RECOMMENDED, PRESSURE
TESTING IS DONE WITH OIL OR AIR INSTEAD OF WATER.
14) AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS REACHED A STEADY STATE,
THERMOMETERS AND PRESSURE GAUGES SHOULD BE
OBSERVED AND THEIR READINGS RECORDED FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE. THIS DATA, TAKEN WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NEW
10
 AND CLEAN, PROVIDES A BASE FOR JUDGING FUTURE
PERFORMANCE.
15) HEATER MUST ONLY BE OPERATED WHEN UNIT IS FULL OF OIL AND
PUMP IS RUNNING. TURN ON THE MAIN DISCONNECT SWITCH.

16) PUSH THE RED HIGH LIMIT RESET PUSHBUTTON TO PULL IN THE
CONTACTOR AND PROVIDE LOAD POWER.

17) THE INDICATING TEMPERATURE CONTROL (IN ENCLOSURE DOOR)

SHOULD BE SET TO DESIRED PROCESS TEMPERATURE BY PRESSING
UP/DOWN ARROWS AND THEN PRESSING ENTER (HALF CIRCLE) KEY
(FACTORY SET TO 125F).

18) THE HIGH LIMIT CONTROL (PROCESS TEMPERATURE SENSING) IN

THE PANEL, MOUNTED ON THE BACK PANEL UNDER THE MAIN
CONTROLLER TO THE LEFT SIDE, SENSES PROCESS TEMPERATURE
AND WILL DISCONNECT POWER TO THE HEATERS IF OVER
TEMPERATURE OCCURS. SETPOINT SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 20
TO 25F ABOVE PROCESS TEMPERATURE. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE
RETURNS TO BELOW THE HIGH LIMIT SETPOINT THE POWER WILL
RETURNED TO THE HEATING CIRCUIT ALLOWING THE HEATERS TO
COME ON BUT THE RED HIGH LIMIT RESET PUSHBUTTON WILL BE
ILLUMINATED UNTIL MANUALLY RESET (INDICATING THAT THERE WAS
A HIGH LIMIT OCCURRENCE). THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION
SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AT ONCE. POSSIBLE REASONS ARE:

Thermocouple failure on the main temperature controller (indicated by no

in the upper display of the controller).
Over Ranging of the main temperature controller (indicated by over in
upper display).
Temperature controller setting higher then Hi-Limit controller setting.
Main temperature controller out of calibration.
Hi-Limit controller out of calibration.
Heater magnetic contactor locked in closed position because of welded
contacts or mechanical binding.

11
 MAINTENANCE

1) PERIODICALLY CHECK ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS TO INSURE THEY

ARE TIGHT AND FREE OF OXIDATION.

2) PERIODICALLY CHECK CONTACTS ON THE CONTACTORS FOR WEAR

AND REPLACE CONTACTOR IF WORN.
3) PERIODICALLY CHECK AND CLEAN STRAINER IN CIRCULATING OIL
LINES

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING SLUDGE BUILD UP FROM

OLDER SYSTEMS

1) DRAIN AS MUCH EXISTING OIL AS POSSIBLE FROM ALL POINTS IN THE

SYSTEM.

2) FILL PHCO HEATER AND ALL PARTS OF SYSTEM WITH A STANDARD

FLUSHING FLUID.
3) RUN PUMPING SYSTEM ONLY (FILL POSITION ON SWITCH). TURN
TEMPERATURE CONTROL TO LOWEST POSSIBLE SETTING. DANGER
OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY EXIST IF HEAT IS APPLIED.
4) CIRCULATE FLUID THROUGH SYSTEM CHECKING STRAINER AT
REGULAR INTERVALS. CLEAN STRAINER AS REQUIRED. USE
JUDGMENT OF FLUIDS APPEARANCE FOR HOW LONG TO CIRCULATE
(MINIMUM OF FOUR (4) HOURS USUALLY).
5) DRAIN AS MUCH FLUSHING FLUID AS POSSIBLE FROM ALL POINTS IN
THE SYSTEM.
6) REFILL SYSTEM WITH HEAT TRANSFER FLUID.
7) CIRCULATE AND CHECK STRAINER AS BEFORE (MINIMUM OF ONE (1)
HOUR).
8) CHECK STRAINER REGULARLY FOR FIRST FEW DAYS OF OPERATION
AS LOOSENED SLUDGE AND MATERIAL MAY CONTINUE TO COLLECT
IN STRAINER.
