Glass Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers, Glass Coil Condenser/Heat Exchanger

The requirement for larger exchange areas in conjunction with a compact construction has been met by the development of shell and tube heat exchangers. Whether installed as a single unit or a part of complete installation shell and tube heat exchangers offer significant advantages:-

• Corrosion resistance.
• Outstanding heat transfer.
• Extremely low-pressure drop.
• Space-saving arrangement by installing in the horizontal or vertical position.
• Simple replacement of the inner tubes for repair and cleaning owing to a construction designed to permit easy servicing.

The standard range includes shell and tube heat exchangers in various sizes with exchange areas ranging from 2.5 to 25 m2. The shell diameters are DN150, 200 and 300. The standard design has a glass shell, glass tubes, PTFE end plates and baffles and either glass or stainless steel end covers. The tube bank is made up of single tubes sealed individually into two tube plates.

These are heat exchangers of fused glass construction are used for cooling and condensation. These heat exchangers are made entirely of glass i.e. the exchange tubes are fused to the jacket. This result in the following main advantage:

• No seal points between the shell and the coil.
• Outstanding corrosion resistance since borosilicate glass is the only wetted part and therefore
• Optimum conditions for the production of extremely pure products.
