Science Popularization | Working Principle of Reactor Oil Heater

The reactor oil heater is a common industrial equipment mainly used to heat the medium in the reactor, promoting chemical reactions. It is widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food. Below, Jinzong Enterprise, with over 20 years of experience in reactor production and R&D, provides a scientific introduction to the working principle of the reactor oil heater.

The working principle of the reactor oil heater is primarily based on the principles of heat transfer and thermodynamic laws. Its fundamental working principle is as follows:

Heat Transfer Medium: The reactor oil heater typically uses thermal oil as the heat transfer medium. Thermal oil exhibits good thermal stability and heat transfer efficiency, enabling stable operation at high temperatures.

Heat Transfer Method: The reactor oil heater employs an indirect heating method, where the thermal oil passes through the heater's heat exchanger and transfers heat to the medium to be heated inside the heat exchanger. This method prevents direct contact between the medium and the heat source, thereby avoiding contamination or oxidation of the medium.

Control System: The reactor oil heater is equipped with a temperature control system that allows precise regulation of the thermal oil temperature inside the heater according to production process requirements, ensuring the medium to be heated reaches the desired working temperature.

Heat Exchanger: The heat exchanger is a critical component of the reactor oil heater. It transfers heat from the thermal oil to the medium to be heated, enabling energy transfer and temperature increase.

Let's take a look at the workflow of the reactor oil heater.

First, the liquid substance to be heated is placed into the heating chamber. Then, the temperature and time are set via the control system.

The heating tubes begin to operate, converting electrical energy into thermal energy, gradually raising the temperature of the liquid substance in the heating chamber.

When the temperature reaches the set value, the control system automatically stops the heating tubes, maintaining a stable temperature inside the heating chamber.

When temperature adjustments are needed, the control system restarts the heating tubes to achieve the new set temperature.

In summary, the working principle of the reactor oil heater involves converting electrical energy into thermal energy through heating tubes to heat the liquid substance to a specific temperature.

The control system enables precise regulation of parameters such as temperature and time, meeting the demands of the production process.

When using the reactor oil heater, it is essential to pay attention to safety issues to avoid accidents.
