INDUSTRIAL HEATING
INTRODUCTION
Industrial process heating operations are responsible for more than any other of the
manufacturing sectors energy demand, accounting for approximately 70% of manufacturing
sector process energy end use. There are a wide range of process heating unit operations, and
associated equipment, that are to achieve important materials transformations such as heating,
drying, curing, phase change, etc. that are fundamental operations in the manufacture of most
consumer and industrial products including those made out of metal, plastic, rubber, concrete,
glass, and ceramics. Energy is supplied from a diverse range of sources, and includes a
combination of electricity, steam, solar and fuels such as natural gas, coal, biomass and fuel oils.
In 2010, process heating consumed approximately 330 TBtu of electricity, 2,290 TBtu of steam,
and 4,590 TBtu of mostly fossil fuels. We can divide process heating systems into five categories:
fuel based process heating; electric based process heating, steam based process heating; solar
based process heating, hybrid based process heating.

the requirement of each space, fluctuation of local space temperatures and possible conflict with
the air conditioning systems serving the same space could occur. Successive heating units in the
loop receive a lower temperature because of the heat lower supply water temperature because of
the heat removed by preceding units.

INDUSTRIAL HEATING
a) Advantages
Advantages include:
A higher heat transfer rate per unit of surface area is produced at the terminal device,
allowing the use of smaller devices.
Smaller piping can be used for a given rate of energy transmission.
Less pumping energy is required than for a hot water system.

INDUSTRIAL HEATING
The system flow is self-regulating, being dependent upon the condensation rate (heat
output) at the terminal devices and condensation (heat loss) in the supplying piping.
Steam can be used directly for humidification of building air.
b) Disadvantages
Disadvantages include:
Condensate may be released from the terminal heating devices at a temperature higher
than the saturation temperature at the return system pressure. This results in the generation of flash
steam is often discharged outdoors from vented condensate receivers, resulting in a significant
energy loss.
Because the saturation temperature of stem at atmospheric pressure is 100 C, a partial
vacuum is necessary to operate at lower steam temperature.
System maintenance cost is high owing to the number of distribution system
components such as steam traps and condensate pumps.

INDUSTRIAL HEATING
a) Boiler efficiency
Boiler efficiency is similar for both steam and hot water boilers. However, a typical steam
boiler plant has other losses which affect the overall plant efficiency: condensate receiving tanks
and condensate treatment equipment have surface heat losses, and chemical treatment of boiler
feedwater requires boiler blowdown. These losses may reduce the overall plant efficiency by 1 to
5 per cent below that of an equivalent hot water plant, a typical annual efficiency range for steam
boiler plants is 60 to 80 per cent. Careful attention to minimizing heat losses from boiler plant
equipment can result in a steam boiler plant achieving the same efficiency as an equivalent hot
water boiler plant.
d) Condensate loss
Condensate loss results from certain system conditions and methods of using steam.

INDUSTRIAL HEATING
Steam leaks represent a total loss of both condensate and heat energy of the steam. A
relatively small opening can result in very significant annual losses because it leaks continuously.

NB: Overall efficiency is affected only by transformer energy loss and spall resistance
losses in the distribution wiring.
The air circulation system provides an opportunity to perform several other functions in
addition to heating or cooling.
Filtering of the air stream for removal of air borne dust and other contaminants;
Humidification;
Controlled injection of outdoor air for ventilation,
Air redistribution.
NB: The total heat energy required for a forced air heating system includes the sensible
heat required to raise the air temperature, and the latent heat required to provide
humidification.

Active systems collect solar heat into an air or liquid and transport it to storage or to a
terminal heating device.
Passive systems collect solar heat directly into the space or process to be heated.
Active solar water-heating systems include direct and indirect systems. Direct systems
circulate the heated water through the solar collector. Indirect systems circulate a secondary fluid,
such as an antifreeze solution, between the solar collector and a heat exchanger. In all cases care
must be taken to ensure that circulation through the collector takes place only when the collector
temperature is above that of the receiving water system.

INDUSTRIAL HEATING
II-2- CALCINING
Calcining is the removal of chemically bound water and/or gases, such as carbon dioxide,
through direct or indirect heating. Common applications include construction materials, such as
cement and wallboard, the recovery of lime in the kraft process of the pulp and paper industry, the
production of anodes from petroleum coke for aluminum smelting, and the removal of excess water
from raw materials for the manufacture of specialty optical materials and glasses.
II-3- CURING
Curing is the controlled heating of a substance to promote or control a chemical reaction;
in the manufacture of plastics, curing is the cross-linking reaction of a polymer. Curing is a
common process step in the application of coatings to metallic and nonmetallic materials,
including ceramics and glass.

INDUSTRIAL HEATING
II-4- DRYING
Drying is the removal of free water (water that is not chemically bound) through direct or
indirect heating. Drying is common in the stone, clay, and glass industries, where the moisture
content of raw materials, such as sand, must be reduced; and in the food processing, textile
manufacture, and chemical industry, in general. There are several types of dryers, including
conveyor, fluidized bed, rotary, and cabinet dryers.
II-6- FORMING
Forming operations, such as extrusion and molding, use process heating to improve or
sustain the workability of materials. Examples include the extrusion of rubber and plastics, the
hot-shaping of glass, and plastic thermoforming.

INDUSTRIAL HEATING
II-12- SEPARATING
Separation involves dividing gaseous or liquid streams into various components.
Separation can be accomplished through distillation, membranes, or by other means.
II-13- OTHER HEATING PROCESSES
Many process heating applications do not fall in the preceding categories; however,
collectively, they can account for a significant amount of industrial energy use. Common
applications that use process heating include controlling a chemical reaction, cooking foods, and
establishing favorable physical or mechanical properties, such as in plastics production. In the food
products industry, process heating is used in preparation tasks, particularly baking, roasting, and
frying. In the textile industry, process heating is used to set floor coverings and to prepare fabrics
for various types of subsequent treatments. This category includes fuel, electric, and steam-based
applications.

CONCLUSION
At the end of this work, we can say that, the industrial heating is a large field, which can
take many paper to explain it from one size to other. Also, we are focus our work in its different
systems which depend both of the medium like (air heating system, water system, steam system)
used to transport heat through the process; and the energy used like (fuel, gas, solar, and electrical)
used to give heat to the medium or not used to carry heat through process. We can also pay attention
to the different process involve heating in an industry and the different equipment used by them.
We can cite for these processes: forming, corning and many others.
