When high temperatures are needed in industrial applications, there are generally two options for heat transfer: hot oil boiler or steam boiler. So, what are the differences between these two options? In this article, we will try to explain the differences between a hot oil boiler and a steam boiler.

The hot oil boiler heats a heat transfer fluid called thermal oil and pumps this fluid to the points that need heating. Thermal oil releases heat at these points and returns to the boiler. Thus, heat transfer is achieved in a closed circuit.

The steam boiler heats the water and turns it into steam and carries this steam through pipes to the points in need of heating. The steam condenses at these points and turns into water and returns to the boiler via the condensate line. Thus, heat transfer is achieved in a closed circuit.

We can list the differences between a hot oil boiler and a steam boiler as follows:

• A hot oil boiler can provide temperatures of up to 300 °C, as thermal oil can reach high temperatures. A steam boiler, on the other hand, can provide temperatures up to 200 °C because the temperature of the steam is directly proportional to the pressure. This means that the hot oil boiler can operate over a wider temperature range.
• Hot oil boiler requires lower fuel consumption and maintenance costs because thermal oil can be used for a long time. Steam boilers, on the other hand, require higher fuel consumption and maintenance costs because they require water conditioning and chemical addition.
• The hot oil boiler can be designed with smaller sizes and less heat loss due to the high heat capacity and low fluid velocity of thermal oil. Steam boilers, on the other hand, are designed in larger sizes due to the low heat capacity of the steam and high fluid velocity.
• As a result, there are significant differences between a hot oil boiler and a steam boiler, and these differences can create advantages or disadvantages depending on the characteristics of the heating need. Therefore, the selection of a hot oil boiler or steam boiler should be made according to criteria such as temperature, pressure, efficiency, safety, and economy of the heating need.
