Lo-Density® CLHR Series Inline Fuel Oil Preheater
Lo-Density® CLHR Inline Electric Fuel Oil Preheaters automatically provide precise temperature and viscosity control of heavy oils for efficient and steady delivery from the pump to the burner.
Viscosity is the primary concern for producers who burn heavy or used fuel oil in their plants, as these oils become virtually impossible to pump at low ambient temperatures. The lower the viscosity, the more easily a fluid will flow. Correct viscosity also provides proper atomization at the burner nozzle and clean burning of the oil.
Are you using, or do you plan on burning heavy/used oil in your plant? PHCo’s “CLHR” Model Inline Preheaters are the answer.
There are two methods available to adjust viscosity in heavy fuel oil. One is to cut or blend the oil with expensive #2 heating oil or diesel fuel – which raises operational costs because of the higher costs associated with these fuels. The preferred method to adjust viscosity is to preheat the fuel, allowing the heavier oils to move smoothly to the burner.
PHCo inline heaters are fully automatic, easy to control, and – due to their removable drywell tubes – easy to clean, which is especially important when using recycled fuel oil.
