Heating & Heat Transfer Equipment
Vacuum Phase-Change Heater
A customized indirect heating solution in which an intermediate medium vaporizes under vacuum, transfers heat to the process coil, then condenses and returns for circulation. LINSON OIL supports equipment selection and engineering based on your process conditions, fluid properties, installation requirements and project scope.

Working Principle
Heat transfer through a controlled phase-change cycle.
The system uses an intermediate heat-transfer medium inside a sealed vacuum chamber. Rather than directly mixing the heating and process sides, heat is transferred through the phase change of this intermediate medium and through dedicated coils.
-
01
Intermediate medium receives heat
The heat source transfers energy to the intermediate medium contained within the sealed vacuum chamber.
-
02
Medium vaporizes under vacuum
Under vacuum conditions, the intermediate medium vaporizes and carries thermal energy as vapor through the internal space of the equipment.
-
03
Vapor exchanges heat with process coils
The vapor contacts the external surfaces of the process coils and releases heat to the fluid flowing inside those coils, while keeping the process stream separated from the intermediate medium.
-
04
Condensate returns and recirculates
After releasing heat, the vapor condenses back into liquid. The condensate returns within the closed system and recirculates to continue the heating cycle.
Applications
For oilfield and process heating duties.
Final suitability is reviewed against the actual process medium, heating duty, operating envelope, utilities and site requirements.
Crude Oil Heating
Heating for crude-oil gathering, transport and treatment duties where required by the process basis.
Natural Gas Heating
Indirect heating for natural-gas service within gathering, station and related oilfield process systems.
Water & Utility Heating
Applicable water-heating and heat-maintenance duties can be evaluated according to the project requirements.
Field & Station Packages
Suitable package integration can be reviewed for single-well, gathering-station and process-skid applications.
Typical Configuration
Configured for the actual scope of supply.
The final arrangement depends on technical clarification, selected heat source, process requirements, controls and project documentation needs.
Vacuum Phase-Change Chamber
Sealed vessel arrangement for the intermediate medium, vapor space and condensate circulation.
Heat Source / Combustion Section
The heat-input arrangement is developed around the selected energy source, thermal duty, controls and project requirements.
Process-Side Coil
Dedicated flow path for the process medium, developed for the required connection and operating conditions.
Piping & Instrument Interfaces
Connections, valves, instruments and control interfaces considered according to the agreed project scope.
Insulation & External Finish
Thermal insulation, cladding and corrosion-protection requirements reviewed for the installation environment.
Skid & Structural Base
When required, the heater can be considered with a base frame and integrated package interfaces.
Engineering Inputs
Share the data needed for a meaningful technical review.
Incomplete information can still be discussed. Our team can identify the key technical questions before preparing a proposed configuration.
Process Conditions
Fluid composition, flow range, inlet and target temperature, operating pressure, viscosity, density, water cut and solids content where applicable.
Heating Source
Available heating medium or energy source, supply conditions, utility limitations and preferred heating arrangement.
Fluid & Material Considerations
Corrosion factors, H2S or CO2 presence, salinity, produced water, sand, material preferences and coating requirements.
Project Documents
P&ID, Data Sheet, Technical Specification, layout information, customer standards and inspection requirements.
Installation Interfaces
Site layout, nozzle orientation, piping connections, electrical and control interfaces, lifting and transport constraints.
Scope & Documentation
Required equipment boundaries, valves, instruments, controls, spare parts, drawings, inspection records and FAT participation needs.
Manufacturing & FAT
Controlled fabrication and documented project review.
Manufacturing activities are organized around the agreed drawings, material requirements, inspection plan and project specifications. Inspection and FAT arrangements are clarified as part of the project scope.
- 01Engineering review, approved technical basis and manufacturing drawings.
- 02Material verification, traceability control and fabrication inspection according to project requirements.
- 03Applicable dimensional, pressure, leak, assembly and functional checks as defined by the agreed scope.
- 04Customer or third-party inspection support and FAT records when included in the inspection plan.
