About Solid Fuel Fired Thermic Fluid Heater

Gyantosh's Solid Fuel Fired Thermic Fluid Heaters are engineered to provide efficient, reliable, and economical high-temperature process heating for a wide range of industrial applications. Designed with advanced heat transfer technology and robust construction, these heaters deliver consistent thermal fluid temperatures while operating on a variety of solid fuels, making them an ideal solution for industries seeking lower operating costs and improved energy efficiency.

Unlike conventional steam-based heating systems, thermic fluid heaters circulate specially formulated heat transfer oil, enabling industries to achieve process temperatures of up to 300°C or higher at near atmospheric pressure. This significantly enhances operational safety, eliminates scaling and corrosion associated with steam systems, and reduces maintenance requirements while providing precise temperature control for critical manufacturing processes.

Our 3-Pass and 4-Pass Solid Fuel Fired Thermic Fluid Heaters are designed with optimized combustion chambers, efficient heat transfer surfaces, and carefully engineered flue gas flow paths to maximize heat recovery and minimize fuel consumption. Every component — from the furnace dimensions and grate arrangement to the combustion air distribution and fuel feeding system — is precisely designed to ensure complete combustion, improved thermal efficiency, and stable heating performance under continuous industrial operation.

The furnace is specifically engineered to efficiently utilize a wide range of solid fuels, including coal, firewood, wood chips, biomass, briquettes, agricultural residues, and other solid biomass fuels. The optimized combustion volume, carefully selected grate system, and balanced draft arrangement ensure complete fuel combustion, lower unburnt fuel losses, and consistent heat transfer to the circulating thermic fluid.

Manufactured using premium-quality steel and precision-fabricated heating coils, every thermic fluid heater is built to deliver long service life, dependable operation, and maximum reliability even in demanding industrial environments. The rugged design, simplified maintenance, and fuel flexibility make these heaters an ideal choice for industries requiring uninterrupted process heating with reduced operating costs.

Whether your application involves chemical processing, textile manufacturing, food processing, edible oil refining, pharmaceuticals, plywood production, laminates, rubber processing, paint manufacturing, asphalt heating, or other industrial heating applications, our Solid Fuel Fired Thermic Fluid Heaters provide dependable, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible process heating.

Available in capacities ranging from 1 Lakh kcal/hr to 100 Lakh kcal/hr, these heaters can be customized to meet varying heat loads, fuel characteristics, automation levels, and process requirements.

Our Solid Fuel Fired Thermic Fluid Heaters are suitable for both new industrial projects and modernization of existing heating systems, providing industries with a durable, fuel-efficient, and cost-effective thermal energy solution for continuous process heating.

Frequently Asked Questions(10)

What is the minimum and maximum capacity available?
We supply solid fuel fired thermic fluid heaters starting from 1 Lakh kcal/hr for small-scale process heating, up to 100 Lakh kcal/hr for large industrial applications.
How is a thermic fluid heater different from a steam boiler?
A thermic fluid heater circulates heat transfer oil through a closed loop to deliver high-temperature process heat without pressurized steam, operating at near atmospheric pressure even at 300°C. This eliminates scaling, corrosion, and condensate recovery issues associated with steam systems while providing enhanced safety.
Which solid fuels can the heater run on?
The heater is designed for coal, firewood, wood chips, biomass briquettes, white coal, agricultural residues, coconut shell, groundnut shell, bagasse, and mixed biomass fuels. The combustion system is optimized based on the primary fuel selected.
What operating temperatures are available?
Standard thermic fluid outlet temperatures include 180°C, 220°C, 250°C, and 300°C. Higher operating temperatures can be offered depending on the thermic fluid selected and process requirements.
Is thermic fluid heating safer than steam heating?
Yes — since thermic fluid heaters operate at near atmospheric pressure even at high temperatures, they carry significantly lower risk compared to pressurized steam systems, while still delivering process temperatures up to 300°C or higher.
What is the difference between 3-Pass and 4-Pass designs?
3-Pass designs offer high thermal efficiency with optimized flue gas flow for medium-capacity applications. 4-Pass designs provide extended heat transfer surfaces and increased flue gas residence time for superior fuel efficiency and lower exhaust temperatures, suited to higher-efficiency requirements.
What pollution control equipment do I need?
PCB norms require APC for solid fuel fired heating equipment. GyanTosh can supply the complete system including multicyclone, bag filter, or wet scrubber along with the heater as a turnkey package.
Do I need a chimney along with the heater?
Yes — a chimney is required for draft and flue gas discharge. GyanTosh can supply and install self-supporting MS chimneys sized for your heater capacity and site conditions as part of the turnkey package.
What routine maintenance does the heater require?
Daily checks cover thermic fluid temperature, flow, and level in the expansion tank. Weekly tasks include cleaning of heating surfaces and flue passes. Periodic thermic fluid quality testing and coil inspection are recommended. GyanTosh offers AMC contracts to manage all scheduled and breakdown maintenance.
Can GyanTosh handle the complete turnkey installation?
Yes. GyanTosh provides complete turnkey solutions covering engineering, supply, civil coordination, installation, commissioning, operator training, and post-handover support — single-point accountability from start to handover.
