Abstract Engineers have long believed a direct‐fired heater (DFH) for deodorization is always in danger of over‐heating. Commercial tests done in recent years have proved this danger can be avoided by proper furnace design. At least ten commercial deodorizers with this system are now used in Asia. A new deodorizer with a DFH was designed and built in 1986 in Taiwan. It features a single‐shell design and steam‐stripping of deep oil layers. It has been operated successfully for several years. The deodorized oil was compared with oil produced by conventional deodorizers. The new deodorizer with a DFH revealed several advantages.
