AIX BOILER Supplies 500KW Gas Thermal Oil Heater System to Food Processing Plant in India
AIX BOILER has recently delivered a high-efficiency 500KW gas-fired thermal oil heating system to a food processing facility in India. This project provides a clean, hygienic, and precise thermal energy solution for the customer's production lines, ensuring strict adherence to food safety standards.
Project Requirements
In the food processing industry, temperature control is directly linked to product quality and safety. The Indian customer required a heating system for applications such as frying, baking, sterilization, and concentration.
Key challenges included:
- Hygiene & Cleanliness: The system needed to be leak-free and clean to prevent contamination risks.
- Precise Temperature Control: Processes like chocolate tempering or oil frying require stable temperatures to maintain consistent taste and texture.
- Fuel Availability: With natural gas being a cost-effective and clean energy source in the region, a gas-fired solution was preferred over coal or biomass.
After evaluating these needs, AIX BOILER proposed the 500KW gas thermal oil heater system as the ideal match.
500KW Gas Thermal Oil Heating System
The supplied system is a compact and fully automated unit designed for medium-scale industrial heating. It utilizes natural gas (or LPG) as fuel to heat thermal oil, which then circulates to various heat-consuming equipment in the factory.
Key Technical Highlights:
- Rated Power: 500 kW (approx. 430,000 kcal/h), suitable for medium-capacity food production.
- Fuel Type: Natural Gas / LPG, ensuring low emissions and a clean working environment.
- Safety Features: Equipped with multiple safety interlocks (gas leak detection, over-temperature protection, low pressure alarm) to ensure safe operation in a food factory environment.
- Compact Structure: The system integrates the boiler body, burner, and control panel, saving valuable floor space in the plant.
Why Thermal Oil for Food Processing?
Unlike steam boilers that require high pressure to achieve high temperatures, this thermal oil system operates at low pressure while providing temperatures up to 200°C-250°C. This makes it safer and easier to operate.
Furthermore, the indirect heating method ensures that the heat transfer medium (thermal oil) never comes into direct contact with the food, maintaining the highest hygiene standards required by the food industry.
