Silicon carbide heat exchanger
heat exchangers are adapted to the cooling, condensation, heating, evaporation and absorption of highly corrosive chemicals.
Silicon carbide shell and tube heat exchangers consist in a bundle of silicon carbide tubes inside a shell. One fluid runs through the tubes and another fluid flows over the tubes (through the shell). The heat is transferred by conduction through the silicon carbide tube wall, without direct contact between the fluids
Universally corrosion resistant silicon carbide (SiC) tubes
PFA lined tube sheets
Unique sealing system with FFKM and FKM O’ring gaskets
Design pressure: -1 barg (full vacuum) to +10 barg
Design temperature: -30 to +220°C (-22 to 428°F)
Heat transfer area: 0,4 to 42 m2 (4 to 452 ft2)
Adjustable number of tubes, size, length, and number of passes on both sides
Shell diameter from 100 to 400 mm
14, 19 or 25 mm Ø tubes
1000 mm to 4500 mm long tubes
Glass lined steel, PTFE lined steel, or glass for the shell or headers on process side
Carbon steel, stainless steel, glass lined steel, PTFE lined steel, or glass for the shell or headers on service side
Unique, ultra-safe and reliable triple tube sheet / double sealing system
Universal corrosion resistance against acids, alkalis and oxidizing media
Ultra-corrosive media either in or outside the tubes
Possibility to have ultra-corrosive media on both sides.
Superior heat transfer performance thanks to adjustable cross sections on both sides that guaranty a high level of turbulence
High operational safety
Highly reliable equipment therefore low cost of ownership and low maintenance cost
Extreme purity of silicon carbide
Wide range of materials of construction for the shell and the headers
Compact and robust design
Short lead time
Long lifetime
