Fatty Acid Heater

Fatty Acid Heater Function and Working Method

The Fatty Acid Heater operates by circulating thermal oil through a jacket surrounding the heating chamber. The fatty acid is pumped into the chamber where it indirectly receives heat from the thermal oil. This indirect heating method ensures precise temperature control and uniform heating of the fatty acid, making it suitable for applications that require specific temperature conditions.

Fatty Acid Heater Material and Construction

Constructed from 00Cr17Ni14Mo2 stainless steel, the Fatty Acid Heater combines excellent corrosion resistance with high - temperature strength. This material choice ensures that the heater can withstand the rigorous conditions of continuous operation, including exposure to high - temperature thermal oil and fatty acids. The stainless steel construction also prevents contamination of the fatty acid, maintaining its purity and quality throughout the heating process.
