Water bath heaters are crucial heating equipment in the process of oil and gas gathering and transportation. Their performance and quality directly affect the operational efficiency and safety of the system. When selecting and ordering a water bath heater, it is essential to clarify technical requirements. The following summarizes the technical requirements provided by HC for reference:

1. Basic Technical Parameters

Heating Capacity Requirements: Determine the required heating capacity (kW or MMBtu/h) based on the process flow, including a design margin to ensure proper operation under extreme conditions.

Operating Pressure and Temperature: Specify the operating pressure and maximum design temperature to ensure the materials and design meet process demands.

Medium Properties: Indicate the physical and chemical properties of the heated medium, including corrosiveness, viscosity, and specific gravity.

2. Structural and Design Requirements

Heater Body Structure: The heater body must be designed to comply with ASME standards, with sufficient strength and rigidity to ensure long-term operational safety.

Heat Exchanger Material: Choose high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel based on operational needs.

Insulation Design: Ensure the insulation layer has adequate thickness and effective thermal performance to minimize heat loss.

Ignition and Combustion System: The ignition system must include automatic ignition and flameout protection features. The burner should support multiple fuels (e.g., natural gas, diesel) and provide efficient combustion performance.

3. Automation and Control Requirements

Temperature Control System: Equip with an accurate temperature control system capable of automatic adjustment and real-time monitoring.

Safety Protection Devices: Include over-temperature protection, over-pressure protection, low water level alarms, and flameout protection to ensure operational safety.

Remote Monitoring Functionality: Optional modules for data transmission and control to facilitate intelligent management.

4. Installation and Maintenance Requirements

Installation Space: Provide detailed installation drawings to ensure smooth installation and operation within the available space.

Maintenance Accessibility: Design for easy maintenance, such as detachable heat exchangers for cleaning and replacement.

Spare Parts: Suppliers must provide a list of critical spare parts to ensure the long-term reliability of the equipment.

5. Quality and Inspection Requirements

Quality Control Standards: Manufacturers must strictly adhere to ISO9001 quality management standards and provide relevant quality inspection reports.

Factory Tests: Equipment must undergo hydrostatic testing, leak testing, and performance testing before leaving the factory, with comprehensive test reports provided.

Acceptance Standards: Buyers are entitled to inspect the equipment per the technical agreement, including dimensions, appearance, and performance checks.

6. After-Sales Service Requirements

Technical Support: Suppliers must provide operation manuals and on-site technical training.

After-Sales Response: Suppliers must offer 24/7 technical support for operational issues.

Warranty Period: The warranty period should be no less than 12 months, with a clear definition of warranty coverage and responsibilities.

7. Other Customization Requirements

Special Operating Conditions: For equipment used in special environments (e.g., high-altitude or cold regions), specific requirements must be stated, and suppliers must provide corresponding design solutions.

Brand and Certification Requirements: Specify brand requirements for key components and provide relevant certification documents, such as explosion-proof certifications.
