Product Advantages
High Heat Transfer Efficiency
The corrugated tubes enhance fluid turbulence and increase the heat transfer coefficient. Under identical operating conditions, the overall heat transfer coefficient can improve by 15%–40%, with even higher gains possible when handling certain clean media.
Resistance to Heavy Fouling
The corrugated structure minimizes fluid dead zones and reduces the rate of fouling accumulation. For media prone to scaling, this effectively extends the equipment's continuous operation cycle, reduces the frequency of shutdowns for cleaning, and lowers maintenance costs.
Compact Design
Equipment dimensions can be optimized based on operating conditions, making the unit suitable for both new projects with limited space and the retrofitting of existing facilities. Designs can be tailored to handle high temperatures, high pressures, high-viscosity fluids, fouling-prone fluids, and corrosive media.
The corrugated tube heat exchanger supports operating temperatures up to 450°C and design pressures up to 10.0 MPa (subject to final project design specifications).
