Direct Fired Firecage Heaters

The direct fired heater traps flue gases through our innovative Firecage to achieve 80% to 95% LHV efficiency. An ultra low emissions burner (<30ppm NOx) heats the process fluid inside of the Firecage. Due to the small diameter of the fin tubes in the upper half of the Firecage, this heater is best used for low pressure applications. An ideal application for this heater is as a water boiler. 

With flammable substances, the indirect fired Firecage heater is the best option due to the separation of the burner from the process fluid coil.
