Apparatus, systems, and methods for a modular heating unit that may be adapted to be inline with a pipeline. The unit includes a base member having a main inlet pipe, a header, and pipes connecting the main inlet pipe with the header. A combustion chamber is positioned within the pipes. One or more heat exchangers are connected to the header. The heat exchangers each having a top surface, bottom surface, plurality of fins, inlet ring, inlet port, outlet ring, and outlet port. The modular heating unit includes external inlet and outlet pipes. A first flow path enables fluid to flow from the header into the one or more heat exchangers. An exit flow path connected to the external outlet pipe connects the one or more heat exchangers to an exit port with a portion of the exit flow path being positioned above the one or more heat exchangers.

A spiral heat exchanger features first spiral channels configured to form rows and columns of coiled hot fluid pathways to receive hot fluid; and second spiral channels configured to form corresponding rows and columns of coiled cold fluid pathways to receive cold fluid having a temperature less than the hot fluid. The first spiral channels and the second spiral channels are configured to alternate every other row and column so as to form a matrix of alternating rows and columns of coiled hot and cold fluid pathways separated by alternating coiled walls that act as both fluid separators and conduits through which heat is transferred between the hot fluid and cold fluid.
