THE EFFECT OF HEAT ON OIL VISCOSITY IN INDUSTRIAL SECTORS

In an industrial setting, oil viscosity directly impacts its quality and the ease at which you can extract it. Among various factors, temperature often determines the viscosity of the oil.

A fluid’s viscosity refers to its resistance to flow and shear. A liquid with low viscosity is free-flowing and moves faster and easier, water being an excellent example of this. On the other hand, high viscosity fluids move slower and less quickly. Examples of high viscosity fluids include syrup and molasses. Of course, oil falls in the category of being a high viscosity fluid.

WHY MARINE CREWS SHOULD USE FLANGED HEATERS FOR THEIR VOYAGES

Modern marine vessels are marvels of engineering and technology, requiring far less equipment and manpower than their predecessors.

Yet, providing sufficient heating to power the various components of a ship can be a challenge depending on the vessel’s purpose. That’s where flanged heaters come in. These types of heaters are among the most efficient heating devices boat crews can rely on. This post will examine why these heaters are so effective and how they work aboard various marine vessels.

5 COMMON INDUSTRIAL USES FOR CIRCULATION HEATERS

Circulation heaters receive much praise in the industrial world for their ability to service many liquid heating applications.

Oil-based solutions encompass a wide range of products. They include hydraulic oils used in hydraulic machinery, lubricating oils, and fuel oils. These oils need to be heated at precise temperatures (and often, pressures) to reach a suitable viscosity for which the oil can be used commercially. Circulation heaters provide even heat distribution that allows these oils to ...
