How it works Thermal fluid systems Thermal fluid systems on ships are used to supply heat for various kinds of heat consumers like fuel oil tanks, separators and fuel heaters and to heat all types of cargo such as bitumen, oil products and chemicals. Also tank washing systems, steam generators and central heating systems are typical fields of application. In thermal fluid systems, the produced heat is transferred to the ship’s heat consumers by means of a transfer fluid, usually a mineral oil. Pumps circulate the fluid through the closed system, passing the fuel oil fired heaters and economisers.
