When you’re in the market for a new industrial heating system, making a quick decision is often a priority. Every day spent researching your options is another day your facility operates below capacity. However, this is a significant investment, so it’s crucial to carefully evaluate your options and consider all influential factors before making your decision.
To help you navigate the process efficiently, we’ve put together a list of key considerations when shopping for an industrial heating system.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Industrial Heating Equipment
1. Efficiency
Upgrading your heating equipment? Efficiency should top your list of considerations. Modern systems are designed to deliver superior efficiency, reducing energy consumption, lowering operating costs, and generating less waste. These benefits not only save you money but also align with sustainability goals.

2. Coil Design
When shopping for a new thermal fluid heater, coil design is a critical factor to consider. While most manufacturers stick to standard helical coils, Enerquip sets the bar higher with our high-efficiency serpentine coil — the standard in our thermal fluid heating systems. This innovative design delivers superior efficiency, unmatched durability, and extended longevity, ensuring your heater performs at its best for years to come.
Explore the benefits of serpentine coil technology.
3. Film Temperature
Film temperature is often overlooked but is one of the most critical aspects of a hot oil heater. It impacts the type of thermal fluid required and directly affects fluid longevity. Carefully assess this factor when selecting a heater to ensure optimal performance and cost savings over time.
Understand why film temperature matters.
4. Maintenance Requirements
Maintenance needs can vary widely depending on the system and your industry. Before making a purchase, ensure you understand the maintenance requirements and that your team can manage them effectively.
