Various alternative methods of high temperature heat transfer in the range of 300 to 750 F, such as direct firing, forced circulation of heat transfer fluids such as water, oil, Therminol, Dowtherm and other fluids are outlined. Advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed. Important considerations include design of heaters, temperature uniformity, heat transfer rates, safety precautions, hardware required, control sequences, fluid degradation and velocities.
