Direct Fired Heater

A direct fired heater is a style of heater in which a burner provides hot gasses that transfer their heat energy to a process liquid or gas flowing directly through coils installed inside the heater vessel.

Direct fired heaters a natural gas or propane direct fired heater has an open flame that provides a safe way to heat industrial and commercial areas by maintaining a proper air to fuel ratio. The direct heat transfer is incredibly efficient and allows the device to heat a space quickly while using minimal amounts of fuel. In a direct fired heater the gas is fed directly to the burner while the airstream provides the needed oxygen for combustion. Fired heaters are one of the most important equipment in any refinery or petrochemical plant.

These heaters provide heat by forcing air through a gas flame. With propane or natural gas heating units force air directly through the flame to heat the air. A fired heater is an insulated enclosure that uses the heat created by the combustion of fuels to heat fluids contained inside coils. A direct fired heater or an industrial furnace uses the hot gases of combustion to transfer the heat to the liquids flowing in the heat exchange coils.

Direct fired heaters can either be used in radiant or convection heat exchanges and adopt different configurations according to their applications. Structural configuration radiant tube coil configuration and burner arrangement. Direct fired heaters are similar to barbeque grills or gas stovetops as they heat the air that passes through an open flame. Almost every unit in a refinery needs a fired heater.

Tioga s direct fired df heaters are designed for use in industrial applications requiring powerful air heaters with significant air flow. These models are capable of rapidly heating large volumes of air pushing heated air long distances and improving work space air quality by increasing the number of air changes in the work space. Direct fired heaters direct fired heaters are similar to a gas grill where the flame comes into direct contact with the air. Internal components within the heater control the warmed air making it an efficient heating solution.

Benefits to using direct fired heaters include. In a direct fired heater the gas is fed directly to the burner while the airstream provides the needed oxygen for combustion.
