Spiral heat exchanger
Spiral heat exchanger
DESCRIPTION:
Purpose: for heating or cooling liquids, vapors, and vapor-gas systems.
How it works.
In a spiral heat exchanger, the heat transfer surface is formed by two metal sheets coiled into a spiral. Thus, two spiral channels, isolated from one another, are formed inside the unit, through which the heat transfer fluids flow, typically in a countercurrent configuration.
ADVANTAGES:
- Compact design;
- Low hydraulic resistance;
- Heat transfer intensity at elevated coolant velocities;
- Ease of operation and maintenance.
