HEATCONEX
Containerized Flameless Industrial Heater

The HeatConex, designed and available exclusively by Equipmentland is a containerized industrial heater, containing one or two patented Therm Dynamics flameless diesel heaters, an on-board fuel tank, overhead lights, electrical plugs and optional ducting. Available in custom configurations, the HeatConex is a highly efficient and extremely safe producer of large volumes of heat, and complies with OSHA regulations on oil fields. It's an ideal heating solution for oil wells, construction sites, fuel farms, mines, airports and anywhere else fire safety is a concern and ultimate reliability is needed.
The HeatConex can be ordered with one or more patented ThermDynamics Heat Modules (THDM). It is an enclosed steel box with an internal combustion (flameless) diesel engine, heat capture devices and controls that outputs heat and high air volume. Numerous models deliver up to 1+Million BTU each, with airflows above 6,000 cubic feet per minute and static pressure allowing up to 100 feet of ducting. BTU specifications are actual measured output BTUs which is more accurate than BTUs calculated by the amount of fuel consumed, the method used by most other heater manufacturers who actually deliver only around 80% efficiency often.

These heaters incorporate ThermDynamics's patented method of converting the diesel engine's output torque to heat and capturing the other heat byproducts of the engine's combustion from the heads, exhaust, and cooling system, providing a totally flameless heater. The diesel engine, heat capture devices and spark-less alternator are enclosed in an insulated steel cabinet with sealed bypassing access doors. Clean heated air is delivered directly from the unit's 20" discharge ports and through attachable flex ducting. Intake air can be from fresh air or re-circulated. The TDHM provides 24-hour, trouble-free operation.

The HeatConex containerized industrial heater is available in your choice of BTU and air volume output. An advantage of ordering a HeatConex containerized industrial heater with two TDHM modules is that two heat modules provide redundancy for safety, plus the CFM airflow is doubled. HeatConex units are manufactured exclusively for Equipmentland customers. More information follows the model descriptions below. Order early because the HeatConex is built-to-order and takes up to 120 days lead time. Customization is possible. Service is according to the Caterpillar or Kubota engine of your model, as the engine is the heater. Please address any questions you have to your Equipmentland.com sales professional.

TDHM SPECIFICATIONS:

Therm Dynamics' patented technology uses a diesel engine to agitate hydraulic oil in a flameless, spark-less, low-pressure environment to deliver heat at a maximum of 160° F at up to 6200 cubic fee per minute (CFM). The hydraulic oil is cooled and re-circulated, not burned, providing a clean pollution free discharge to the target environment. A patented heat generating unit, powered by the diesel engine, has a sealed housing enclosing a rotating disc. Hydraulic fluid heated by disc agitation is transported to a heat exchanger where heat transfer occurs. As the heated fluid is cooled, it is transported to an expansion tank for recirculation. A direct drive from the diesel engine powers both the patented unit and the integrated fan to dissipate the heat from the TDHM heat exchanger. Heat output is controlled by simple settings on the engine throttle, allowing selection range of 50K BTU to the full BTU of heat. Heat from the engine's exhaust is captured through an exhaust heat exchanger prior to being discharged well away from the work area. Heat from the heat generating unit, the exhaust heat exchanger, the engine operation and cooling system are all contained in an insulated enclosure. TDHM controls modulate the the correct amount of fresh air, ensure safe operation and equipment protection. The TDHM's diesel engine fan delivers the correct temperature air at high volume through the ports.

Oil Reservoir & Hydraulic Filter - Maintenance:
- Equipped with two sight glasses and one hydraulic filter. Contains 10 quarts of Hydraulic Fluid, which needs to be changed every 1500 hours. This along with the recommendations of the engine manufacturer, is the only maintenance required for this unit.


Thermostat Control:
- Thermostat is mounted directly on the control panel. By adjusting the thermostat to a desired temperature you vary the temperature of the air passing through the air discharge outlets. This in turn will adjust the automatic shutters to control the desired amount of air entering through the front of the unit.



Engine Safety Features:
- Explosion-proof alternator
- No brushes to create sparks
- Automatic Air Shut Off closes the air intake and shuts down the engine in the event of increased RPM’s due to the engine taking in flammable gas fumes.

Exhaust Heat Exchange:
- Exhaust from engine is routed through the rear exhaust heat exchanger, then to a secondary exhaust heat exchanger; the unit recovers all but a small amount of heat. The radiant heat from the radiator and engine is coupled with exhaust heat as fresh air is taken in by a fan in the front of the engine.
Heat Plate (two units on 1+ Million BTU Model):
- 16" disk enclosed in heavy steel case
- Oil enters from the center onto the bearings and is moved to the outer edge.
- Disk agitates the oil aggressively to generate heat and load the engine.
- Released to oil galley, forced to the oil radiator. Heat is extracted from the oil and recycled.
Dry Heated Air Discharge:
The dry heated air is then discharged through the rear of the unit through 20" outlets. Additional flexible ducting may be purchased for directed and extended discharge.
Industrial Uses
