Introduction
Selecting the right thermal fluid heater for your industry depends on several factors—fuel cost, availability, environmental compliance, and maintenance requirements. Two common types are wood-fired and gas-fired heaters. Both serve the same function but have significant differences.
Wood-Fired Thermal Heaters: Affordable & Natural
Wood-fired heaters are ideal for industries in semi-urban or rural areas where wood is easily available.
Advantages:
- Low fuel cost
- High thermal output
- Good for areas with fuel wood subsidies
Challenges:
Needs more maintenance
Requires manual feeding
More ash disposal
Gas-Fired Thermal Heaters: Clean & Convenient
Gas-fired heaters are often used in regulated industrial zones or where automation is a priority.
Advantages:
- Cleaner combustion, minimal residue
- Fully automatic operation
- Compact design
Challenges:
Requires a stable gas supply
Higher fuel cost (LPG or PNG)
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose wood-fired if:
- You want low operational costs
- You’re okay with manual labor
- You’re in a fuel-wood-rich location
Choose gas-fired if:
- You need cleaner combustion
- You want hassle-free automation
- You’re in an urban setup
