13 Models Ranging From 500,000 to 24 Million BTU/Hr
Volcanic marine type thermal fluid heaters operate within a closed loop. The end mounted burner fires down the inside of the helical coil unit, heating the thermal fluid, which is pumped through the coils and travels throughout the system back to the expansion tank. These 2-pass gas flow systems operate with precise temperature control, and can reach temperatures up to 399°F with class II barge piping or higher with class I barge piping while operating at minimal low pressure.
Heat transfer takes place by radiation on the inside of the coil surface, and convection on the outside.
The Volcanic heater, using its original Hopkins design, is a long proven rugged work horse suited for on-deck usage. |
