An indirect water bath heater is a type of heat exchanger used to heat fluids such as natural gas, oil, or water. The heater uses a water bath to transfer heat to the fluid being heated. The fluid flows through a coil or pipe that is immersed in the water bath, and the water is heated indirectly by the hot fluid flowing through the coil.
The water bath in an indirect water bath heater is typically heated by a separate heat source, such as a burner or a steam coil. The water is heated to a temperature higher than that of the fluid being heated, which allows for efficient heat transfer to the fluid. The heated fluid is then transported through a pipeline or other system for further processing or use.
Indirect water bath heaters are commonly used in the oil and gas industry to heat natural gas and other fluids for transportation or processing. They are also used in industrial applications such as heating water for buildings, or in food processing and other manufacturing processes.
Some of the benefits of using an indirect water bath heater include:
- Efficient heat transfer: Indirect water bath heaters can achieve high levels of heat transfer efficiency due to the use of water as a heat transfer medium.
- Safety: The use of a water bath as a heat transfer medium provides a high level of safety, as there is no direct contact between the heat source and the fluid being heated.
- Flexibility: Indirect water bath heaters can be designed and configured to meet specific heating requirements, such as different flow rates, temperatures, and pressure ratings.
Overall, indirect water bath heaters are a reliable and effective way to heat fluids for a variety of industrial applications. Regular maintenance and cleaning are important to ensure their continued performance and efficiency.
ALI ENTERPRISE is designing and Providing Water Bath Heater as per the Standard of API 12K.The temperature of Natural Gas is very important for Gas Generators and Ovens. This is why Water Bath Heater (WBH) is widely used to heat the Natural Gas and to Maintain the Required temperature of Clients.
APPLICATION
• HEATING HIGH PRESSURE NATURAL GAS PRIOR TO PRESSURE REDUCTION TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF NATURAL GAS-WATER HYDRATES IN THE LINE DOWNSTREAM OF THE CHOKE OR REGULATOR.
• HEATING NATURAL GAS PRIOR TO REGULATION PREVENT THE FORMATION OF FROST RINGS AROUND THE BURIED LINE DOWNSTREAM OF THE REGULATION STATION. THIS PREVENTS GROUND HEAVING AND PAVEMENT BUCKLING.
• HEATING A NATURAL GAS-CONDENSATE WELL STREAM PRIOR TO SEPARATION, WITH OR WITHOUT AN ASSOCIATED PRESSURE REDUCTION, SO AS TO CONTROL THE SEPARATION TEMPERATURE, PREVENT THE FORMATION OF HYDRATES, AND ASSURE GOOD GAS-LIQUID SEPARATION.
