1. Process Heat Equipment
Process heating is used in virtually all industries during manufacturing and production. “Process heating”
is the technique of applying heat to raw or semi-finished commodities, in order to achieve the final
product.
As outlined above, process heating can be broken down into five elaborate steps. At each step,
equipment is used to generate, transfer, exchange, contain or recover heat- this array of equipment is
known as process heating or heat equipment. Some types of process heat equipment are: indirect fired
process air heaters, direct fired process air heaters, duct air heaters, gun style process air heaters,
specialty ovens and furnaces, kilns, heat exchangers, PLCs and valve trains, heat recovery equipment,
ect.
An important note must be made regarding the role of fuel-fired process heaters as process heat
equipment. Statistics reveal that 92% of the industry demands their use and only about 8% warrant the
use of electricity for process heating.

2. Above is an expansive list of the most common applications of process heat equipment. Special
mention must be given to the role of process heat equipment in the production/manufacture of heavy
duty materials like steel, copper, brass, etc. and also to versatile materials like glass, ceramic and
petroleum among many others. Based on the products generated from process heating equipment, we
can conclude that the idea of “process heating”, as been and will be around for a long time.
