Heat Emission from Pipes Submerged in Oil or Fat

Heat emission from steam or water heating pipes submerged in oil or fat - forced and natural circulation

The viscosity of a fluid has considerable influence on the heat transfered from a submerged heating pipe. Be aware that the viscosity of a fluid is highly dependent on the temperature.

Oil or fat tank - steam heating coil

Heat emission from steam pipes submerged in oil baths are indicated below:

Application	Fluid	Heat Emission from coil surface
Application	Fluid	(Btu/ft² hr^oF)	(W/m^{2 o}C)
Steam coil with medium steam pressure and natural convection of oil	Light Oils	30	170
	Heavy Oils	15 - 20	85 - 115
	Fats	5 - 10	30 - 60
Steam coil with medium pressure and forced convection of oil	Light Oils	100	570
	Heavy Oils	60	340
	Fats	30	170

Light oils - 220 SSU at 100^oF
Heavy oils - 1100 SSU at 100^oF
Fats - 3833 SSU at 100^oF
