The Heart of Your Asphalt Plant: How to Choose a High-Efficiency Thermal Oil Heater?

Whether you are heating a bitumen storage tank, an emulsion plant, or a decanting machine, they all rely on one critical component: The Thermal Oil Heater (Boiler).

If your boiler fails, your entire plant shuts down. If it is inefficient, your fuel bills eat up your profit. At Feiteng Road Construction Equipment, we integrate premium heating systems into all our machines. Here is what makes a boiler "Industrial Grade."

1. The Burner: Why We Choose Riello?

The burner is the engine of the heater. Many cheap boilers use generic brands that are hard to tune and service.

Feiteng exclusively uses Italy Riello Diesel/Gas Burners.

• Efficiency: Full combustion means less soot and lower fuel consumption.

• Reliability: Riello parts are available globally, ensuring you can always find maintenance support locally.

2. The Coil Design: Preventing the "Bomb"

Thermal oil operates at high temperatures ($200^\circ\text{C}-260^\circ\text{C}$) but low pressure. The danger lies in "Coking" (Oil cracking).

If the oil flows too slowly inside the heater coils, it overheats and forms carbon blockage. This can lead to tube bursts or fire.

• Feiteng's Engineering: We calculate the precise Flow Velocity inside our coils to ensure the oil is always turbulent. This prevents local overheating and extends the life of both the oil and the heater.

3. Smart Control: Set It and Forget It

You shouldn't need a dedicated operator just to watch the thermometer.

Our heating systems come with Automatic Temperature Control.

• You set the target (e.g., $220^\circ\text{C}$).

• The system automatically modulates the burner flame (High/Low/Off).

• Safety Interlocks: If the oil flow stops (pump failure) or the pressure drops, the burner cuts off immediately to prevent accidents.

Conclusion: Don't Skimp on the Heart

A high-quality thermal oil heater pays for itself in fuel savings and safety. Whether you need a standalone boiler replacement or a complete heating center for your tank farm, Feiteng has the solution.
