Heat is needed during the conversion of biodiesel for the following reasons:
1 Preheat your oil.
2 Heating your biodiesel during the sedimentation process.
3 drying water from water washed biodiesel.
4 Recovery of methanol from biodiesel.
The three main types of heating systems available today:
Oil pre-heating system.
In-line heating.
In Tank Heating Systems
Oil preheating systems are a safe traditionalPreheat the oil before processing. The system Conister a steel drum with at least one thermostat controlled barrel heater and insulation. This is a very safe method because there is resistance in contact with the liquid. The Freedom Fueler comes standard with this type of heating.
In-Line Heating Systems
Better:
- Preheating your oil.
- Drying water washed biodiesel
Disadvantages:
- Necessary for the operation of a pump.
- It is not possible to heatthroughout the entire process.
- The elements must be replaced regularly.
In line heaters are better than a pre-heating system, but have a common defect, everyone needs a pump to circulate the oil through the heater so that the heating to work. They are mainly intended to pre-heat the oil and wipe the water from biodiesel, which is washed with water. With a heater submerged in line with the elements, the user must remember the flow of liquid before startingHeating on.Note: All heaters are what is called power density. Power density is the number of watts is divided by the heating of the surface of the heating element. The provider of heating systems recommends no more than 30 watts per square centimeter in the process of biodiesel. All heaters have a power density of 28 watts per square centimeter.
In Tank Heating Systems
Especially recommended for:
- Preheating your oil.
- Biodiesel heating during billing.
- Drying of WaterWater washed biodiesel.
- Removing methanol from dry-washed biodiesel.
An in-tank heating system is to maintain the highest bio-diesel heating systems, with the possibility, the temperature of the charge, even if the temperature drops at night in your store.
