Product Overview

The Highest Efficiency Thermosyphon Boiler Design in its Class

The ISOTEX Unitherm is a high-pressure, closed-loop, natural circulation heating system — recognised as the most advanced thermosyphon boiler design in industrial process heating. Engineered over 50 years of thermal expertise in precision process heat at pressures up to 90 kg/cm²(g) and capacities up to 6 M kcal/hr.

The natural circulation principle eliminates the need for a circulation pump, and the completely sealed loop design prevents oxygen ingress, eliminating the risk of corrosion entirely. This makes the Unitherm the preferred choice for food-grade, pharmaceutical, and edible oil applications where contamination risk cannot be tolerated. Available in Coal/Biomass fired, Oil/Gas fired, and Open Steam/Condensate cycle configurations, the Unitherm is a complete turnkey heating solution

50 Years Of Trust. Engineering The Next Energy ERA — the ISOTEX Unitherm represents half a century of high-pressure thermosyphon innovation, trusted by edible oil.

Unlike conventional thermic fluid heaters, the ISOTEX Thermosyphon uses distilled water as its heat transfer medium — 100% non-toxic and inherently safe.

Key Features & Engineering Advantages

The Ecobloc introduces patented inbed heat recovery technology and advanced FBC combustion engineering that surpasses every conventional alternative in efficiency, fuel flexibility, and long-term reliability.

Thermosyphon Natural Circulation — No Pump Required

  • Works entirely on the principle of natural circulation — eliminates circulation pump, reduces power consumption
  • No pump = no mechanical failure risk, reduced maintenance, and lower auxiliary power requirement
  • Constant, uniform heat distribution across the process without flow rate variability
  • Self-regulating flow adapts automatically to changing heat load demand
Combustion efficiency vs 85–90% grate-fired
