Process heater definition

Process heater means a device that transfers heat liberated by burning fuel to fluids contained in tubes, including all fluids except water that is heated to produce steam.

Process heater means any combustion equipment fired with liquid and/or gaseous fuel that transfers heat from the combustion gases to water or process streams. Heaters used for swimming pools, spas, and/or therapy pools shall be considered process heaters. This definition does not include any combustion equipment where the material being heated is in direct contact with the products of combustion, such as furnaces or kilns, or any unfired waste heat recovery heater that is used to recover sensible heat from the exhaust of any combustion equipment.

Process heater means a device that transfers heat liber- ated by burning fuel to fluids contained in tubes, including all flu- ids except water that are heated to produce steam.

Examples of Process heater in a sentence

• Process heater means a device that transfers heat liberated by burning fuel to fluids contained in tubes, including all fluids except water that is heated to produce steam.

• Process heater means a device that is primarily used to heat a material to initiate or promote a chemical reaction in which the material participates as a reactant or catalyst.

• Process heater means a device that transfers heat liberated by burning fuel directly to process streams or to heat transfer liquids other than water.

More Definitions of Process heater

Process heater means a device that uses the heat generated from combustion of a fuel or electrical resistance to heat a material so as to augment or expedite its processing.

Process heater means any combustion equipment fired with liquid and/or gaseous fuel and which transfers heat from the combustion gases to water or process streams. Pool heaters used for swimming pools, spas and/or therapy pools shall be considered process heaters.

Process heater means, for purposes of Part 217, an enclosed combustion device that burns gaseous or liquid fuels only and that indirectly transfers heat to a process fluid or a heat transfer medium other than water. This term does not include pipeline heaters and storage tank heaters that are primarily meant to maintain fluids at a certain temperature or viscosity.

Process heater means a device that is primarily used to heat a material to initiate or promote a chemical reaction in which the material participates as a reactant or catalyst.

Process heater means any fuel burning equipment which is used to produce heat for use in a manufacturing process. This term includes boilers which use a heat transfer medium other than water, but does not include drying ovens, steam generating units, or other drying apparatus.

Process heater means an enclosed device using controlled flame where the device’s primary purpose is to transfer heat to a process fluid, a process material that is not a fluid, or a heat transfer material, instead of steam, for use in a process.

Process heater means any combustion equipment which is fired by a liquid fuel or a gaseous fuel, or both, and which is used to transfer heat from the combustion gases to a process fluid, superheated steam, or water.
