Water/water heat exchanger in chemical industry
In the chemical industry, hazardous liquids often need to be heated, cooled, condensed or evaporated. Air Solutions Holland helps the industry to realize these kind of process steps with a number of different types of water-water heat exchangers:
- Immersion type heat exchangers mounted in a bath or tank to minimize heat transfer losses.
- Tube and shell heat exchanger, external but very compact horizontally or vertically mounted
- Plate heat exchanger, externally mounted but still very flexible, easy to clean and easily achievable capacity expansion
All different heat exchangers are built modularly, but are customer specific designed/assembled. The desired power, fluid temperature ranges, pressure drop and chemical resistance are the main design input data.
Air Solutions Holland supplies heat exchangers in various material choices for the chemical industry, among others:
- Copper
- Stainless steel - AISI 304 and 316
- Titanium
- Plastic (PE, PP, PVDF)
Plastic heat exchangers are extremely suitable for the chemical industry to provide a temperature treatment of highly concentrated acids, alkalis, very pure media or, on the contrary, aggressive and crusting liquids. All heat exchangers can be easily cleaned with water, steam or dry cleaning, this gives the exchangers a longer service life and ensures that the efficiency of the exchanger remains optimal.
