DIRECT-FIRED HEATERS

What is a Direct-Fired Heater? 

ZEECO direct-fired heaters are custom-engineered systems that deliver reliable, efficient heat production for a variety of industrial processes. Each heater is
designed for its specific application, offering flexibility in capacity, emissions performance, and efficiency. Paired with Zeeco’s Burner Management System (BMS) and Combustion Control System (CCS), these heaters provide safe, consistent heat transfer across a wide range of operating conditions.

How it Works

Direct-fired heaters transfer heat directly from a combustion flame to the process
coil or media. In these systems, the burner fires into a firebox or radiant chamber,
and heat is transferred to the process coils by radiation and convection.

Zeeco designs each system to safely maximize heat transfer while meeting applicable emissions requirements. Paired with Zeeco’s advanced BMS and CCS platforms, operators benefit from optimized performance, combustion safety, and straightforward system integration.
