HEATMAX
The Forbes Marshall HeatMax is a highly efficient, low-maintenance, and compact, skid-mounted system for instantaneous hot water generation. Designed for advanced heat recovery applications, it functions as a steam-to-water heat transfer solution for various process requirements.
The HeatMax is engineered to ensure reliable delivery of the exact right quantity of hot water at precise temperatures. This is achieved through effective heat transfer, accurate temperature control, efficient condensate removal, and recovery.
A key feature is the system’s integrated online monitoring and control mechanisms, which include a state-of-the-art fouling prediction system. This proactive measure safeguards the equipment’s performance and guarantees sustained high efficiency throughout its operational lifespan. Equipped with inbuilt overheat protection, the HeatMax is delivered in a fully assembled and tested, ready-to-install condition.

The HeatMax is a compact, skid-mounted hot water system utilized for heat recovery. It is designed to deliver precise amounts of hot water at accurate temperatures for industrial processes.
It is equipped with a state-of-the-art fouling prediction system alongside continuous online monitoring and control, which helps operators anticipate and mitigate efficiency losses.
The HeatMax features a compact, skid-mounted design. This typically allows for easier, modular integration into existing plant utility networks compared to piecemeal, site-built systems.
To order the correct system, you need to provide your application details, desired hot water flow rate, cold water inlet temperature, targeted hot water outlet temperature, saturated steam pressure, and your total condensate back pressure. Based on this data, our engineers will help you select the right model for your process.
The system requires an electrical supply of either 110VAC/220VAC (60Hz) or 230VAC (50Hz) for the control panel. Additionally, a clean instrument air supply of 58.1-87.1 Psi(g) (4-6 bar(g)) is required to operate the pneumatic control valves.
No. The HeatMax is delivered as a fully assembled, tested, and pre-configured skid-mounted unit. You only need to connect the primary steam, condensate return, water lines, power, and air supply.
Yes. The HeatMax is equipped with an innovative Forbes Marshall Steam Operated Pumping Trap. This trap automatically switches between trapping and pumping modes to ensure complete condensate removal under all operating conditions, easily overcoming system stall.
