American Thermal
Steam Generators
Hot Oil Steam Generators offer a distinctive solution for steam provision, presenting notable advantages over traditional boiler systems. While this equipment might not be as commonly known among engineers, the technology employed by American Thermal remains consistent with the groundbreaking innovations developed in Refineries over 75 years ago.
- No Air Permit Required – No Burner.
- No Boiler Operator Necessary – unit considered a Pressure Vessel, not Boiler per ASME Code.
- Minimal Maintenance – significantly fewer moving parts with a simple hot oil valve instead of a burner.
- Little to No Heat Loss – heating source is hot oil in comparison to a boiler with a burner that has roughly 20% heat loss.
Our Steam Generators
These units are widely used for unloading asphalt or heavy hydrocarbon materials from rail cars, providing the necessary heat. However, they are also deployed in numerous projects where they replace the entire facility’s steam requirements.
