Oil storage tank coil heating
Transfers heat through existing or project-selected coils to help maintain stored oil temperature.
The Skid-Mounted Electric Circulation Heating System combines an electric heater, circulating pump, make-up water tank and control cabinet on a common base. It supplies heated circulating water to oil storage tank coils or radiator circuits, then reheats the returning water to maintain the required heat supply.
Designed for well sites and oilfield facilities, this packaged electric heating skid can serve locations with limited fuel-gas availability. XGTHERMAL coordinates the heater, pump, piping and controls around the connected heating load. In tank-coil service, the circulating water transfers heat to the stored oil through the coil wall.
This system is used where heat must be delivered through a circulating-water circuit. The connected tank coils, radiators or heating branches determine the required duty, supply temperature, circulation flow and pump head.
Transfers heat through existing or project-selected coils to help maintain stored oil temperature.
Provides a packaged heat source for well-site tanks served by a circulating-water circuit.
Offers an electric heating option where fuel gas is unavailable or insufficient and site power is suitable.
Supplies heated water to compatible radiator circuits at oilfield facilities.
Integrates heating and circulation equipment for retrofit projects after reviewing existing coils, piping and power capacity.
A heater alone does not establish a working heat-supply system. The pump must move sufficient water through the external circuit, the connected coils must transfer the heat, and the controls must coordinate temperature, flow and water level. These requirements are reviewed together.
Tank coils and radiators need the right water temperature and flow to deliver the required heat.
Heating power, circulation flow and pump head are matched to the connected load and piping resistance.
Pump failure, low flow or low water level can interrupt heat delivery and cause abnormal heater temperatures.
The circulation pump moves water through the electric heater and out to the connected heating circuit. After releasing heat through tank coils or radiators, the water returns to the skid. The make-up water tank supports replenishment, while expansion, venting and pressure protection are selected for the final circuit arrangement.
The control system coordinates circulation and heating rather than treating them as separate devices. Heating is enabled only when the specified operating conditions are satisfied. Automatic temperature control and alarm reporting support reduced routine operator intervention, with inspection and maintenance still required.
Supply-water temperature feedback regulates heat input against the circuit setpoint.
Circulation is established before heating is enabled; stop and cooldown sequences follow the selected design.
Insufficient circulation or water level can inhibit heating and initiate an alarm or shutdown.
High-limit temperature protection, pump overload and electrical-fault trips complement normal control. Pressure protection is selected for the complete circuit.
Specifications are configured to your heating circuit. The system pressure rating is determined by the pump, tank, piping and other pressure-containing components.
