Compact Heat Exchangers
Compact heat exchangers are used in a great variety of applications. They allow for an increased heat transfer rate, require less volume and weigh less compared to other heat exchanger types. The disadvantage is the higher pressure drop.
Types of compact heat exchangers. … Area density is the ratio of heat transfer surface to heat exchanger volume. Their large area density, indicating small hydraulic diameter for fluid flow, results in a higher efficiency than conventional shell-and-tube heat exchanger in a significantly smaller volume.Stainless steel compact heat exchangers are divided into two different basic types:
- KF type with fixed tube bundle
- KM type with retractable tube bundle
- High Efficiency Level
Thanks to special welding know-how, we are in a position to achieve a 20% higher level of efficiency with compact heat exchangers versus conventional shell-and-tube heat exchangers. For this reason, compact heat exchangers are small in size.Application
Compact heat exchangers are very flexible in the various fields of possible applications. They are available with standard connections in various diameters and in different lengths. Compact heat exchangers can be designed in horizontal and vertical orientation and can be used for a wide variety of applications including, among others
Compressed Gas / Water coolers
Water / water coolers
Oil / water coolers
Preheaters, CiP-Preheaters
Condensers and evaporators for chemical and technical processes of all kinds.
Machine coolers
Oil coolers for hydraulic systems
Oil and water coolers for power machines
Refrigeration and air-conditioning units
Possible variations of our proven standard are suitable for other applications e.g. Engine-Water cooling with seawater made in titanium partially. Especially in welding the tube to tube sheet connection we have a wide range of experience.
