Thermic Fluid (TF) Degasser Tank
A TF Degasser Tank provides a controlled arrangement for separating and venting entrained air and gases from circulating thermic fluid, supporting stable circulation, reliable heat transfer, and efficient system operation.
What Is a TF Degasser Tank?
A TF Degasser Tank, also known as a Thermic Fluid Degassing Tank, is an auxiliary vessel used in thermic fluid heating systems to provide controlled conditions for the separation of entrained air and gases from the circulating thermic fluid.
By providing a suitable space for gas separation and venting, the degasser arrangement helps support stable thermic fluid circulation and reliable heat-transfer performance.
How Does a TF Storage Tank Work?
1. Hot Thermic Fluid Enters
Hot thermic fluid enters the degasser tank from the circulation system.
2. Flow Velocity Reduces
The tank provides a larger controlled space where the fluid velocity can reduce compared with the connected piping.
3. Gas Separation
Reduced fluid velocity provides suitable conditions for entrained air and gases to separate from the thermic fluid.
4. Gas Venting
The separated gases are released through the designated vent arrangement.
5. Degassed Fluid Continues
The thermic fluid continues through the circulation system, supporting stable operation of the heating circuit.
How to Select a TF Cooler Unit?
Selection should be based on the overall Thermic Fluid Heating System design. Key factors include:
- Thermic fluid type and properties
- Thermic fluid flow rate
- Total system fluid volume
- Maximum operating temperature
- Operating pressure
- Required degassing capacity
- Tank capacity
- Material of construction
- Connection sizes and arrangement
- Venting arrangement
- System piping layout
- Installation conditions
- Applicable safety and design requirements
Applications of TF Degasser Tanks
- Chemical & Pharmaceutical Plants
- Food Processing Industries

Conclusion
A TF Degasser Tank provides a practical solution for removing entrained air and gases from thermic fluid systems. Proper design, sizing, and integration with the heating circuit help support fluid stability, efficient heat transfer, and reliable performance of the overall thermic fluid heating system.
