Fulton Thermal Fluid Electric Heat Transfer Systems
1. General Description
a) Contractor shall furnish and install a ___________KW BTU/Hr. electric thermal fluid heat
transfer system per plans. The system shall be "Fulton" as manufactured by Fulton
Thermal Corporation, Pulaski, New York.
b) The system shall be a complete package including a vertical jacket type heater;
combination expansion deaerator thermal buffer tank to allow for expansion of thermal
fluid during heat up to operating temperature and to prevent oxidation of the thermal fluid
during operation, even when tank is vented to atmosphere; for operating temperatures up
to 650°F complete with instrumentation and controls.
2. Heater Size & Operating Temperature
a) The heater shall produce a minimum of ______ BTU/Hr. output as measured at the
thermal fluid outlet. The heater shall _________ KW and be supplied complete with
control panel and all required safety devices for a maximum operating temperature of
_______°F (standard 650°F max). It shall have a flow rate of ______GPM and an
element voltage of ______ with a control voltage of ________.
3. Heater Design
