Thermal equipment

Thermal equipment is a broad category of machinery that is used to generate, regulate, or control heat in various industrial settings. The applications for industrial thermal equipment are diverse, ranging from food processing to energy production, and include equipment such as boilers, furnaces, heaters, and ovens.

Boilers are used to produce steam or hot water, which can be used for a number of different applications in manufacturing and other industries. The fuel used to generate the heat in boilers can be oil, gas, or coal. Boilers come in a variety of configurations, including fire-tube, water-tube, and waste heat boilers.

Furnaces are used to melt or smelt metals, as well as to heat-treat or anneal various materials. Furnaces can be electrically powered or use gas or oil for heat sources.

Heaters are used to heat fluids such as water or oil, which can be used in a range of industrial applications. Heaters come in a variety of configurations, including immersion heaters, inline heaters, and circulation heaters.

Ovens are also an important category of industrial thermal equipment. They are used to bake or dry various materials, including food, paint, and paper. Ovens can use a variety of heat sources, including gas, electricity, or steam.

Other types of industrial thermal equipment include heat exchangers, which are used to transfer heat between fluids in process applications, and chillers, which are used to cool fluids for various applications, including air conditioning and refrigeration.
