Devco Process Heaters

EQUIFLO HEATERS WITH STATE-OF-THE- ART LOW EMISSIONS AND EFFICIENCY UP TO 90 %

The Devco EQUIFLO heater provides a safe controlled convective heat transfer environment for special process fluid applications. Heat is transferred unevenly in conventional direct-fired radiant heaters, creating hot spots. This leads to undesirable process fluid thermodegradation and/or scaling. The unique Devco EQUIFLO convective heater employs a special high energy burner with two significant features. First, direct radiant heat exposure to the process coil is eliminated by the specially designed combustion chamber. Second, the distinctive burner high energy environment induces flue gas recirculation throughout the heat exchange zone. The resultant effect is a maximum 1600 deg F temperature exposure to the process coil. Devco EQUIFLO heaters range from 0.5 to 100.0 MMBtu/Hr.

SAFETY

The controlled flame geometry and inherent designed flue gas recirculation eliminates process coil flame impingement.
Process fluid thermodegradation and scaling are eliminated.

EMISSIONS

Options are available to provide your Devco EQUIFLO convective heater with state-of-the-art low emission combustion systems to meet today’s environmentally friendly requirements...

TURNDOWN

The standard automated forced draft burner system has a 10:1 turndown ratio. Options to increase the turndown ratio are available.

EFFICIENCY

Basic Devco EQUIFLO convective heaters are designed with 70-80 % net thermal efficiency (NTE).
Options to increase the NTE to 90 % are available.

INSTALLATION

Low onsite installation cost.
The Devco EQUIFLO heater comes completely assembled with burner, fuel train and BMS .
Reassembly at site involves only nuts, bolts, and gaskets. NO onsite welding or special tools are required.

INSTRUMENTATION

The basic Devco EQUIFLO heater includes our standard PLC burner management system ( BMS ). Options are available to provide a customized state-of-the-art BMS to meet any specification (e.g. IRI , NFPA, BASEEFA, and ATEX) and your specific information requirements.
