Gas Fired Thermal Oil Boiler Manufacturing Process: Step-by-Step Flow

1. Material Inspection
(ISO 9001/ASTM/EN)

Plates, tubes, and pressure vessel components (e.g., Q245R, 16Mn, stainless steel) are checked for composition, ultrasonic flaws, and mechanical properties.

2. Cutting & Shaping

CNC plasma cutting and rolling for main pressure shell, tube, and coil shaping. Precision ensures optimal heat transfer and safety.

3. Welding

Automatic submerged arc welding or robot-assisted TIG; welds inspected per GB150/ASME VIII for X-ray integrity, pressure class, and compliance.

4. Assembly & Installation

Installation of spiral coils (heat transfer tubes), expansion joints, insulation, and high-efficiency burners.

5. Testing & Certification

Hydrostatic pressure test (≥1.25×design), NDT, and third-party inspection (SGS, BV). Certificates per ISO, API, or CE standards.

Precision manufacturing (step 2/3) reduces roller scorch by 15–22%, extending gas fired thermal oil boiler service life.
Each boiler undergoes emission and safety simulation in line with ISO9001 and local regulatory codes for export.

Application Scenarios & Competitive Advantages

gas fired thermal oil boiler units find key roles in industries demanding indirect, closed-loop heating above 180°C—unavailable with conventional steam boilers. Main application sectors include:

Petrochemicals: Reactor jacket/process oil heating (continuous 300–340°C, 24/7; e.g., Sinopec—10×7MW system, ISO14001-qualified)
Fine Chemicals: Temperature-sensitive production, solvent evaporation (agile response, ±1°C control, FDA validation)
Textiles/Dyeing: Color-fixing and stentering, precise temperature moderation, up to 22% lower energy loss (customer: Jiangsu Yufeng Textile)
Food & Pharmaceuticals: Edible oil processing, API crystallization, no-contamination loop (following HACCP, cGMP compliance)
Plastics/Glass: Extruder, calender, or float bath heating, continuous operation with near-zero downtime
Metallurgy/Smelting: Die-casting, material pre-heaters, where stable, high-temp (up to 350°C) is non-negotiable

Case Spotlight:
A leading Chinese petrochemical facility replaced four legacy coal-fired units with three natural gas fired thermal oil boilers (YQW-10.5MW, PLC/IoT enabled, API-approved coil). Result: 13% fuel cost savings, NOx emissions cut by 87%, and downtime reduced by 92%.

Typical standards: ISO9001, CE PED, ASME S (for pressure vessels), and ANSI/UL/EN/IEC codes for electrical/safety circuits. Programmable controllers (PLC) integrate redundant overheat, low-flow, and pressure interlock safety.

4. Can I operate a gas fired thermal oil boiler on multiple gas types or biogas?

Yes, advanced burners are compatible with natural gas, LPG, mixed/biogas. Burner control automatically compensates for calorific value variations, ensuring stable temperature and emissions within local limits.

5. What is the designed service life, and which inspections are recommended for maintenance?

Designed service life is typically 15-20 years+ (with coil/pressure parts replacement/interim inspection). Annual NDT and pressure testing, plus burner/calibration check, is strongly recommended (per EN 12952/GB/T16507).

6. Are there special installation standards for seismic zones or hazardous area (explosion-proof) applications?

Yes, seismic brackets, reinforced mounts, and Ex-rated electrical components are provided. Zoning and electrical compliance follows IECEx/ATEX/NEC 500, and customizations are available based on the local code.

7. How are emissions and efficiency measured and optimized in a modern gas fired thermal oil boiler?

Units feature continuous O₂, CO/NOx sensors; PLC adjusts air/fuel ratio in real time, and heat recovery is maximized via pre-heaters/condenser modules (98% + peak efficiency). Reports can be generated in accordance with regulatory test protocols (e.g., EU MCPD).
