The TPC-LN Thermal Fluid Heater is a multi-pass fired heater designed for operation with Natural Gas, LPG, Light Fuel Oil and a variety of specialist Bio-fuels.
Heaters for its flour heat treatment process at its Selby site. They are used to pre-heat filtered air, which is then used as part of the heat treatment process of flour which changes the baking properties for suitability in different food products, such as sauces, batters and so on. Thermal fluid heating was selected over other methods for this process due to its lower maintenance requirements, its non-corrosive nature and ability to run at low pressures. Secondary circuits can be readily incorporated to provide higher fluid flow rates, different temperatures and very close control, all fed from the primary circuit. This enables several different temperature processes to be used on a single system. Food grade thermal fluids are available when required.
PRINTING, COATING, LAMINATING AND DRYING Roller heating, continuous drying and laminating is achieved with the greatest accuracy and lowest operating cost with Thermal Fluid Heating due to its advanced temperature control, simple automation and unattended start/stop design. All this means the highest quality products at the lowest production cost.
Multiple heaters can be installed on a single system and remotely controlled to match the demands of production. Automation is simple to apply with the latest controls able to provide remote monitoring of the complete process. Where required, Thermal Fluid Heating can be integrated into VOC abatement technology to offer a complete energy and environmental solution.

HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS With Thermal Fluid Heating, heating and cooling can be combined in a single system, making them ideal for chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, press and moulding processes, exothermic chemical reaction control and applications where multiple independent variable temperature processes are involved.
Combined simple heating and cooling circuits operating independently within the main system provide for special applications which demand fast process times and very accurate control of temperature. Secondary pumps and individual coolers working together with the primary heating circuit at different temperatures can be installed to meet any particular process requirement. ACS UK in Cambridgeshire uses a Babcock
Wanson TPC1500B Thermal Fluid System to heat and control the cooling of its press producing lightweight panels and mouldings for the transport sector. A single fluid is used throughout the system for ease of operation and maximum efficiency. Control of the complete heat / cool cycle is achieved using a bespoke TCU and dedicated software which allows for up 50 heating/cooling profiles to be stored, with each profile offering up to six temperature ramp and dwell stages. The customer has cited benefits as a reduction in process cycle time by up to 30 per cent from the previous heat
The EPC-ES Heater from Babcock Wanson is a multi-pass fired heater with a long pedigree in both design and construction.
processing method, plus reduced maintenance costs, reduced energy costs and an increase in available floor area.
Thermal Fluid Heaters are incredibly versatile as you can see from just some of these most common applications, but there are many many more. Their combination of ease of use, small footprint and, most importantly of all in the current climate, their energy saving operation, have made them the number one choice of heat processing technology for industry.
