Characteristics
In K type heat exchangers heat transfer surface is a coil made with specially corrugated tubes. This kind of surface allows to multiply heat transfer intensity. In heat exchangers without the K addidition inside coil is made with smooth surface tubes.
Advantages
- High efficency: higher heat transfer coeficent in comparison to standard shell & tube and plate heat exchangers
- Vertical instalation: reduced space requirements
- Facility of implementation: various different types allowing to choose a heat exchanger for specific pressures, temperatures and flows
- Low running cost: higher impurities resistance thanks to V type connections and corrugated tubes
Materials
- Coil, tube wall: stainless steel
- Shell: stainless steel
- Connections: stainless steel
- Flanges: stainless steel, carbon steel
Applications
- Heating systems
- Refrigeration and air conditioning
- Heat transfer in industrial processes
