Features
- A smooth indented inner profile ensures easy cleaning
- Turbulence is created at low fluid velocities to enhance the heat transfer in the tube
- Fouling on the tube surface is minimised
- A wide range of diameters & styles are available
AdvantagesCorrugated tube heat exchangers have many benefits and advantages over comparable smooth tube versions:
- Compact tubular heat exchanger
- Long running times due to turbulent flow
- Very low maintenance costs, minimum spares requirement
- Higher heat transfer coefficient (2-3 times) results in reduction in heat exchanger area up to 50%
- Fouling is minimised due to turbulence created by eddies at the periphery or tube wall
- High response to CIP
- Wide choice of MOC
- Uniform thermal processing
- More flexibility in annular space sizing.
