Indirect fired heaters are tube-in-shell heat exchange vessels used to raise the temperature of produced well effluents to prevent hydrate formation, reduce produced oil viscosity and break down emulsions to facilitate the separation of oil and water.
Produced well fluids entering the line heater flow through a tube bundle section within the vessel (ie: tube-side) that is heated by water within the vessel’s shell-side section surrounding the interior tube bundle. A burner tube also located within the vessel indirectly heats fluid flowing through the tube bundle by heating the shell-side fluid. The vessel’s heating source is typically an attached gas or diesel-fired burner.
Solid offers two types of Indirect fired line heaters:
Indirect Fired Line Heater; dual diesel/gas fired, 3MMBTU/HR 3''X 5000 psi WP primary coil, 3''X 3000 psi WP secondary coil; equipped with 2''x 5000 psi adjustable choke, electronic-controlled burner system.
Indirect Fired Line Heater; dual diesel/gas fired, 3.5MMBTU/HR 4''X 5000 psi WP primary coil, 4'' X 1500 psi WP secondary coil; equipped with 2'' x 5000 psi adjustable choke and electronic-controlled burner system.
