Diseño de un Sistema de Calentamiento de Agua y Aire mediante Aceite Térmico para la Empresa “ATU Artículos de Acero S.A

Abstract

The following article discusses the design of a water and air heating system using thermal oil for the company ATU Articles of Steel S.A. The project aims to design a new heating system using thermal oil to heat vats and ovens when the working temperature is equal to or higher than 200 ° C. For this is realized a study of energy required by each of the users. This design aims to reduce fuel consumption and maintenance costs. The heating process will be realized by means of a boiler for thermal fluid of the serpentine type, in which the thermal oil is heated in the boiler and transferred by tubings towards a heat exchanger manifold type and controlled by a three-way valve, providing heat energy within a closed system. The design will have a control system which will control both the boiler on and off, as well as fans, opening and closing of the three-way valve, starting and operating times, maintaining an ideal temperature and fuel consumption.
