Tubular Heat Exchangers

The Flat Tube Heat Exchanger is an air to air heat exchanger operating on the principle of forced draught convection. Process gases pass over the outside surfaces of the heat exchanger elements. Cooling air is generated from ambient air by axial or centrifugal fans and blown along the bores of the heat exchanger elements thus promoting the exchange of heat.

Dependent on dust characteristics and quantities the Heat Exchanger can be equipped with a cleaning device. This cleaning device ‘wipes’ the surfaces of the heat exchanger elements and removes excessive dust, thus maintaining the efficiency of the heat exchanger.

The Flat Tube Heat Exchanger can be used to cool process gases down to a suitable operating temperature of the selected filter media. The normal maximum inlet temperature to the Heat Exchanger is 550 deg. C.

On applications where there is a relatively constant inlet heat load energy recuperation is possible.
