Materials of Construction
Materials of construction for the Immersion Coil Heat Exchanger consists of either polypropylene, PVDF, or PTFE for the frame, and either FEP, PFA, or PTFE for the tubing. Custom designs may include other fluoropolymer materials such as ETFE, ECTFE or PCTFE.
Advantages
The advantages of our heat exchanger products over alternative designs include:
Low operating cost - The operating cost includes maintenance such as inspection, cleaning, downtime, and repair. This is primarily due to the relatively simple design that involves no plastic welding joints
No weld joints - Unlike metals that are subject to more rapid degradation under aggressive pickle bath conditions, Fluorotherm’s heat exchangers withstand aggressiveness
Off the shelf repair kits - In case of an unlikely event of accidental tube damage, these kits enable a quick repair of the tubing
No tube bundling - The strong tubing coils are optimally spaced so acid flow and therefore heat transfer is maintained without fouling.
Constant operating efficiency - Fluoropolymers such as PTFE, FEP or PFA, are inherently “non-stick”, so fouling by scale deposition is minimized, assuring a constant operating efficiency that does not decrease over time. No other material, except natural diamond, inhibits sticking of the pickle bath particulates more than fluoropolymers
