Water Bath Heaters
Water Bath Heaters are Indirect Fired Type usually designed to API 12K, these
devices are traditionally used to heat natural gas and oil.
Water Bath Heaters can also be used for heating:
• Crude Oil
• Vaporizing and superheating LPG & LNG
• Regeneration Gas Heating
• Heat Transfer Fluids
• Heat sensitive gas and fluids
• Molten Salt Heaters Direct Fired Reboilers
• Amine Reboilers
• TEG Reboilers
The main application for Indirect Fired Water Bath Heaters is to heat high
pressure gas prior to pressure reduction, this prevents hydrate formation that
can occur because of the temperature drop due to the Joule Thomson effect. The
natural gas can also be post heated to suit the operation of gas turbines.
A typical water bath heater consists of an insulated shell, removable process
coil, removable fire tube, stack burner, gas train and control system.
Gasco options include:
• Natural Draft Burners
• Forced Draft Burners
• Pneumatic Gas Control
• Electric (Electronic) Control
• Remote Monitoring
Gasco can also supply complete gas conditioning skids consisting of Water Bath Heater, Pressure Reduction, Filter Coalescer and Metering.
