Do You Need an API 560 Compliant Heater for Your Thermal Fluid System?
While API 560 standards are essential for direct-fired heaters handling crude oil, applying them to thermal fluid systems often adds unnecessary complexity, footprint, and cost.
Engineered thermal fluids don’t require the same cautious heating approach as unrefined hydrocarbons. Forcing an API 560 spec onto an indirect heating loop can lead to an overdesigned, expensive system that underperforms for your actual process needs.
Download this guide to learn when API 560 is truly necessary—and when a purpose-built thermal fluid heater like Sigma Thermal’s HC2 provides better performance, efficiency, and ROI.
What You’ll Learn Inside:
- Direct vs. Indirect Heating
- API 560 vs. HC2 Comparison
- Superior Turndown
- Practical API 560 Exceptions
- Maintenance & Footprint
