OIL-MATIC heaters are supplied as packaged


units, complete with all necessary equipment and
ready to be connected to site utilities; the selection
of the oil circulation pumps, expansion tank
and oil storage tank is strictly depending on the
system type, anyway our technical and commercial
specialists are available to select and quote the
proper equipment case by case.
As an optional, air preheater can be purchased
additionally to the oil heater. Preheater enables
the boiler to increase efficiency reaching 90% at
full load.
OIL-MATIC model OMV is available both in vertical

2. TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
At first glance, thermal fluid heaters of different equipment producers may appear the same. Deeply analyzing their characteristics it is clear that OIL-MATIC OMV has outstanding technical features. OIL-MATIC OMV heaters can be used with a
wide range of thermal fluids (both minerals and synthetics) and are available in a wide range of sizes, from 0,2 MW up to
5.8 MW.
Thanks to its easy design OIL-MATIC OMV series has found a large and successful application in many heating processes.

OMV Design
OMV design consists in a well proportioned heating surfaces dimensioning, where both the sections, radiant and
convective, are designed according to recent up-to-date
design formulas, taking into consideration of several
critical process data such as heat flow density, specific
thermal load per unit, max. recommended bulk and max.
film temperature.
Depending on the thermal output, OMV heaters employ up
to 4 concentric coils, containing up to 7 pipes in parallel
(see Figure 3); the extended convective section ensures
a higher exploiting of the hot gases, a gradual heat exchange rate
and reduced thermal stresses in the whole structure.

Figure 3.
OIL-MATIC OMV seamless spiral heating coils
Thanks to our innovative design, the OMV range also ensures :
Longer fluid life cycle
High safety margin during operation with thermal fluid temperature close to the maximum recommended bulk temperature.
Reduced carbon coating and carbon sooty formation at the film layer.
Uniform thermal fluid circulation velocity in each coil.
An innovative and reliable design of tube suspension ensures a free thermal expansion.
Thanks to the correct combination between wide surfaces (radiant and convective) and different fluid speed and flows,
OMV ensures lower heat flow if compared with other design, with evident benefits in terms of lower tube wall and fluid
film temperatures.

Multi Coil Design Properties


OMV heater employs several coils pipe seamless type, having a reduced section in order to ensure higher fluid velocity and,
consequently, a reduced Delta T between mass and wall fluid temperature.
Thanks to the particular restricted section of the coil the fluid in OMV heater circulates in turbulent flow and the fluid speed
at any point is in a status of continuous undergoing changes both in magnitude and direction; this implies a more balanced
heat flow and increased heat transfer properties.

Moderate Delta Temperature between bulk and film


In our OMV the fluid flow is in turbulent condition, which is enough to ensure flat temperature profile and a reduced difference between film and bulk temperature along the entire circuit.

Figure 4 Right side


partially turbulent condition
The fluid film, in this thermal flow condition, has a temperature of
3035C higher than the bulk one and this situation leads to a fast flow
degradation.
Although only a part of the whole fluid volume is present in the film layer,
if the fluid temperature exceeds the max. recommended value (as very
often happens in the inner coil, called the radiant section), the whole
volume of fluid is quickly involved in a larger degradation rate.
The rate of degradation generally doubles with an increase of temperature of 10C.
The film temperature is not the only one to be controlled in this process,
also the bulk temperature must be under control.
A cracking event occurs in a coil heater when the fluid velocity (and consequently the turbulence) decreases and the thermal fluid remains in
prolonged contact with the heated surfaces. Even though the bulk temperature may not change so evidently the film temperature can rise very
quickly leading to cracking.
Figure 4 Left side
turbulent condition
This is the best operating condition peculiar of our OMV Coil Heater Design, characterized by a reduced difference of temperature between the
film and the bulk.
Design of Heaters
The fundamental principles.

Figure 4
Heat exchange in the oil pipes depending on oil speed

In order to minimize the degradation rates when using mineral oils


above 600 F (316C), users should take extra care with a proper heater selection in terms of combustion chamber dimension choice.
A larger volume combustion chamber allows more space around the

burner, which minimizes the radiant energy reaching the


coil surface. The same thing could be said regarding the
space between the coils.
The radiant section is the area of the tubing that actually faces the flame; depending on geometry and design,
up to 70% of the total heat is transferred in the radiant
section.
The resulting localized heat flow can be three times the
average in the entire heater, with film temperatures exceeding the average fluid temperature by 150 F (83C)
or even more. In some heaters, the maximum recommended film temperature of a fluid can be exceeded
even if the average temperature is largely within limits.
OIL-MATIC employs a new coil design, which, if combined
with the fluids turbulent flow, guarantees excellent heat
transfer conditions and the best fluid temperature profile, as per recommendation of all the fluid suppliers.
The fluids high turbulence and velocity rates in the radiant section prevent the formation of fluid stagnation areas that might lead to boiling and hot spot phenomena
and, consequently, rapid fluid degradation.
Figure 5

2. TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Moreover higher flow velocity in the coils enables to
control the fluid itself with simpler control devices,
which are not recommended on heaters with lower
flow circulation speed, for the same thermal degradation prevention reasons.
Reduced Fluid Degradation Rate
The reduced fluid degradation rate is achieved
thanks to the homogeneous heat flow. On the contrary, single or dual coil heater design (or fluid flow
connected in parallel arrangements) are characterised by a wide unbalanced condition between
the inner and outer coil where the difference in
temperature both film and bulk can be over 35C
from the set point with a consequent reduced safety
margin.
In OMV Heaters circulates only thermal fluids in
liquid phase
This condition allows a balanced heat transfer rate
between the sections in order to ensure:
High fluid velocity in radiation section.
Figure 6
Reduced fluid degradation rate.
Degradation rate vs Operating temperature
Maximum exploiting of the flue gases and high
heat transfer rate also in the convection section.
Gradual fluid temperature increases in radiation section and in countercurrent to the gases in order to avoid any thermal
shock.

7. THERMAL OIL SYSTEM ELEMENTS

This section is dedicated to the equipment that is part of the thermal oil circuit. Having a high-profile knowhow in the technology of the thermal fluid heaters, Bono Energia technical office can easily recommend
and offer the best solution according to the customers needs.
A thermal oil system, besides one or more thermal oil heater, usually comprise:

A thermal oil storage tank; it can be installed above ground with a storage basin or underground (a
double-wall construction is required with the second option). The design volume is usually 1.5 times
the total volume of oil in the plant. The tank must be assembled as required by the applicable standards, being especially careful to prevent fire outbreaks. If possible, it is preferable that the point of
installation be below the minimum level of the plant, so that the thermal oil is drained spontaneously.
Its possible to drain the thermal oil when its temperature is lower than the one projected for the tank
(usually room temperature);

An expansion vessel to absorb fluid dilation: its capacity is usually about 1/3 of the total fluid contained
in the plant. The expansion vessel can be either atmospheric or pressurized. The expansion vessel
must be positioned so that the minimum pressure required by the suction pump inlet is guaranteed
(NPSHr). The connecting line between the expansion vessel and the oil circuit must not be stoppable.
The expansion vessel (and the connecting line) usually do not need to be insulated, because the temperature of the oil must be contained as much as possible in order to prevent oxidization of the thermal
fluid when it comes into contact with the air. The atmosphere in contact with the oil can for this purpose be made inert with nitrogen, for this reason the vessel should be located in a safe area;

A thermal fluid transfer pump (reversible) that can load and unload the plant;

One or more user machines equipped with their own regulator and valve to adjust user heat capacity,
to ensure oil circulation within the heater even if a heat request is missing; user heat capacity should
be regulated in order to have the same thermal oil flow rate through the heater. A three-way valve can
be used for this purpose. The valve can be a diverter or mixer-diverter valve.

One or more circulation pumps which must be sized so as to ensure the flow of thermal oil required by
the heater. The prevalence must overcome all frictions of the heater, valves, line, and connected utilities. Oil flow rate to the heater must in all operating conditions not be less than the one decided in the
order, so as to ensure the oil lasts and that the heater is preserved intact and cracking is prevented.
The electric circuit of the circulation pump is usually connected to the burners circuit so that if the
motor trips, the burner is automatically disabled. Heaters control panel is capable of managing the
motor trip signal, even if circulation pumps are not supplied by Bono Energia.

8. INSTALLATION

GENERAL COMMENTS
To operate at its best, the Generator must be installed correctly and must be operated and checked in accordance with the instructions provided in the manual
The Generator is supplied as a completely operational monoblock unit.
The Generator must be installed upon a rigid level base, preferably on a concrete slab, in a place that gives
personnel adequate access to the equipment.
Good ventilation is essential to supply a quantity of air sufficient for combustion and a suitable temperature
for the normal functioning of the electrical devices (the temperature must not exceed 35-40C).
The premises housing the boiler must have at least two entrances for air that are always open. One entrance
must be as close as possible to the fan.
The height of the boiler room must be sufficient to allow personnel to gain access to the burner.

THE GENERATOR MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN THE OPEN UNDER A ROOF


UNLESS IT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED FOR THIS PURPOSE.

CONNECTIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT

Chimney pipe for smoke


Oil pipes
Pipes to discharge oil from the generator
Connection pipes to the expansion chamber
Feeding pipes for combustible material
Electric power to the board

DURING INSTALLATION FIRST MAKE THE HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS AND


THEN THE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

CHIMNEY
The chimney pipe must not have a diameter that is smaller than that of the boiler exit connection and its height
must conform to the provisions in force.
In every case throttling or localized flow resistance must be avoided as this may inhibit the proper functioning
of the Generator.

OIL PIPING
Make the connections between the generator outlet, the installation delivery and the return pipes to the intake
connection of the circulation pump. Install a filter in front of the circulation pump to hold back any impurities.
The diameter of the pipes must not be less than that of the boiler connection; to limit flow resistance there
must not be any narrowing of the pipes nor must there be any corners.
In order to limit heat loss along the pipes we recommend covering them with an insulating material.

The oil pipe connection is supplied with a flange. In the designing stage the manufacturer did not
provide for any load on these connections.
Accordingly, any type of mechanical strain due to the weight of the pipes or expansion stress must
be avoided. If this is not possible an expansion joint and/or suitably sized supports must be provided.

PIPING AND CONNECTIONS TO THE EXPANSION CHAMBER


Run a pipe from the pump intake pipes (return from the installation) and connect it to the expansion chamber. This
pipe must be as straight as possible and counter-slopes and traps must be avoided.
Moreover, all the breather pipes of the installations must be channelled into the expansion chamber.
38

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Always refer to the enclosed wiring diagram.
Check that the tension and the frequency correspond to that indicated in the enclosed wiring diagram.
The customer is responsible for the connection and installation of the power cable. The electrical installation must be carried out in a workmanlike manner in accordance with EN 60204.
Always install a differential magnetothermic switch of adequate amperage upstream of the power line.

OPERATIONS TO FILL AND EMPTY THE INSTALLATION


Fill the generator and the installation as follows:
Ensure that all the following valves are open:
Service on-off valves
Oil circulation pump on-off valves (if a reserve circulation pump is installed the on-off valves of this pump
must also be open)
Boiler and installation relief valves and the expansion chamber atmospheric relief valves (VEO).
Storage tank relief valve
Check that the expansion chamber draining valves are closed.
At this point, check that the direction of rotation of the transfer pump is that for intake and not vice-versa.
Start the transfer pump and commence filling the plant, from the bottom to the top to facilitate the expulsion of air.
As soon as the level of oil in the expansion chamber has reached the minimum level on the visual indicator,
stop the pump and close the following valves:
Generator exhaust valves
Service outlet valves
Expansion chamber exhaust valves
Oil transfer and reserve circulation pump on-off valves

The air valves must remain open


Proceed to bleed the oil circulation pump using the plug located on the shaft support.
If required, grease the bearings of the pump and the motor and check the alignment of the connection joint by
turning the pump by hand.
Start the pump and check the direction of rotation. Check the absorption of the motor. The oil pump must be
made to operate for a certain amount of time before lighting the burner - in any event until no further variations in pressure are noted on the oil inlet and outlet gauges of the generator.
After the burner has been lit at the minimum setting, maintain an oil temperature gradient that does not exceed 60-70C for each hour of operation.
When a temperature of 120-130C has been reached carry out the following operations:
Stop the oil circulation pump and close all the breathers of the generator (the breathers of the expansion
chamber and the storage tank must always remain open).
Drain any condensate in the expansion chamber
Re-start the pump and the burner at the minimum setting and thereafter bring the oil temperature to the
maximum working value.
If drops in pressure due to cavitations of the pump occur, it is necessary to stop the burner and to bleed the
installation by opening the vent located at the highest point of the installation, whilst the pump is operating, until the inlet and outlet pressure from the generator stabilizes.
N.B. To restore the oil level in the expansion chamber it is necessary to:
open the transfer pump isolating valve
open the expansion chamber exhaust valve
start the oil transfer pump and load the chamber to the cold working level
stop the pump
close the expansion chamber exhaust valve
close the oil transfer pump isolating valve.

9. THERMAL FLUID BRANDS & TYPES - MINERAL FLUIDS


This section is dedicated to the thermal fluid selection. The type of thermal oil should be chosen according to
the maximum working temperature, considering that under normal working conditions film temperature is
approximately 20 C higher than bulk temperature
For example:
Max working temperature = 260 C;
T Film - Bulk = 20 C
T Film = 280 C
