A spiral heat exchanger is precisely what it says – a circular heat exchanger with two concentric spiral channels, one for each fluid. The curved channels provide optimum heat transfer and flow conditions for a wide variety of fluids, while keeping the overall size of the unit to a minimum.
Features and benefits of spiral heat exchangers:
- Fully engineered to meet the needs of every customer
- Self-cleaning effect reduces operating cost
- Low maintenance cost due to easy access on both sides
- High heat transfer efficiency, higher than in shell & tubes
- Unique ability to handle two highly fouling fluids
- Every unit is fully drainable
- Condensers have virtually no vapour side pressure drop
- Column mounting of condensers reduces installation costs
- Design experience from more than 40 years of manufacturing
