    Indirect water bath heaters are used to heat process streams and prevent freezing or hydrate formation. They consist of a shell containing a process coil, fire tube, and heat media like glycol/water. Process fluid flows through the coil and heat transfers from the fire tube through the media to the coil. Standard features include removable fire tubes, expansion tanks, and controls. Sizes range from 20" diameter for 0.1MMBtu capacity up to 54" for 2.5 MMBtu.

    Indirect Water Bath Heaters

    OVERVIEW
    Indirect fired water bath heaters are used successfully in hundreds of utility, processing, and upstream oil and gas industry applications.
    Water bath heaters are commonly used in applications where process temperatures do not exceed 170ºF.

    Typical uses include:

    Heating natural gas prior to pressure reduction to eliminate frost formation downstream of expansion valving.
    Preventing hydrate formation in well stream fluids.
    Heating well stream fluids prior to phase separation.
    Heating process streams to maintain fluids viscosity at a minimum to reduce HP pumping requirements.
    Heating critical feed stocks that require tightly controlled film to bulk temperate differentials.
    Heating turbine fuel gases to maintain given dew point temperature.

    HEATER COMPONENTS
    The indirect fired water bath heater consists of the following components each designed to meet specific design criteria.

    HEATER OPERATION
    The process to be heated flows through a serpentine configured coil that is mounted in the upper reaches of the heater shell. A controlled amount of
    heat is liberated into the fire-tube (combustion chamber) which is located in the lower reaches of the shell where heat is efficiently transferred from the
    fire-tube in both media. The heat contained in the bath media is then transferred by natural convection into the process stream which flows through the
    process coil.

    The heater shell is an atmospheric vessel designed in according with API 12 K requirements. The shell contains the process tube-bundle, fire-tube
    (Combustion chamber), and heat media.

    The fire-tube is commonly of the U-tube configuration. The tube is removable & designed to efficiently transfer heat into the surrounding heat media and
    to minimize flue gas friction losses.

    The process tube-bundle is a pressure containing part commonly designed in accordance with API 12 K or ASME Section VIII Division 1 code
    requirements.

    The flue gas stack is designed to provide positive flue gas flow (draft) by overcoming the friction losses in the complete combustion system.

    The heat media is commonly a mixture of inhibited ethylene glycol (50%) and water (50%).

    The expansion tank is designed to reduce internal corrosion within the heater shell liquid packed & moving the wet dry interface of the expanding bath
    media from the heater shell into the expansion tank. The expansion to contain 100% of the expanded bath media from a temperature of 40ºF to the
    maximum operating temperature.

    STANDARD FEATURES INCLUDE

    Individually removable fire-tubes.


    304 SS Flue gas stack (s)
    Flue gas stack anti reverse-draft diverters w/rain cap @ bird
    screens.
    Assemblies for easy maintenance.
    Basic electric & pneumatic in addition to PLC control system.
    Multi mitered fire–tube bends (no single miter cut to greater
    than 22.5º).
    Positive seal flange designs.
    Bath media expansion reservoir designed to hold 6% of the total
    bath media.
    Heat media temperature indicator.
    Shell designed in accordance API 12 K.
    Tube-bundle designed in accordance ASME-8-1.
    100% Radiography on process Tube-bundle welds.
