Corrugated Tube Heat Exchangers
We have developed high performance corrugated tube/shell heat exchangers, which provide increased turbulance & in turn higher heat transfer coefficient even at low Reynolds number. In corrugated tube/shell heat exchangers higher turbulance is achieved due to programmed deformation (i.e. Corrugation) of tube/shell, which induces spiral fluid flow compared to plug flow in smooth tubes/shell. As on today we have designed & supplied at least 500 (Five Hundred) compact corrugated heat exchangers for applications like highly viscous liquid heating/cooling & evaporation of liquids, which involves two phase flows and also for condensation & with operating pressure as high as 35.0 bar.
Advantages Of Corrugated Tube Heat Exchangers
- Improved heat transfer coefficients, hence compact.
- High-induced turbulence causing much reduced fouling, hence steady performance over a long period of time.
- High working pressures & temperatures possible.
- Modular designs for small applications with flexibility of increasing duty as required.
- Easy to install.
- Virtually maintenance free.
- Low-pressure drops & no gasket failures compared to PHE.
- Low capital cost compared to PHE/SHE.
- Designed for easy maintenance/service compared to PHE/SHE, hence minimum downtime.
- Most suitable for heat sensitive products as no localized heating.
- Can be installed vertically, inclined or horizontally.
- Since corrugation induces flexibility, generally external bellows are not required i.e. built in expansion/contraction capability.
- Suitable for process fluids with particulate matter.
