Worry free after-sales service for spiral wound tube heat exchangers

1、 Technical principle: Spiral winding enhances turbulent heat transfer

The shell and tube spiral wound tube heat exchanger achieves efficient heat transfer through precisely designed spiral wound tube bundles. The core structure consists of a spiral wound tube bundle, a shell, and a tube plate. The tube bundle is made of corrosion-resistant materials such as 316L stainless steel or titanium alloy, and is wound in reverse on the central cylinder at a spiral angle of 3 ° -20 °, forming a multi-layer three-dimensional spiral channel. This design extends the total length of the heat exchange tube (up to several times that of traditional equipment), causing the fluid to flow in a spiral shape inside the tube, generating strong secondary circulation, breaking the boundary layer, and significantly improving the heat transfer coefficient. For example, when the Reynolds number exceeds 10 ⁴, the boundary layer thickness decreases by 50%, and the heat transfer efficiency increases by 3-7 times compared to traditional equipment.

Key technological breakthroughs:

Reverse flow heat transfer design: The cold and hot fluid paths are reversed, increasing the utilization rate of temperature difference by 30%, supporting large temperature difference conditions (Δ T>150 ℃), with a end face heat transfer temperature difference of only 2 ℃, and a heat recovery efficiency of over 95%.

Self compensating thermal stress structure: Free sections are reserved at both ends of the tube bundle, allowing for free expansion and contraction with temperature changes, eliminating the risk of equipment damage caused by thermal stress, and extending the service life to 30-40 years.

Modular and detachable design: supports flange connection standard modules, and the processing capacity of a single device can be expanded from 10 square meters to 1000 square meters, reducing the construction period by 50%; The detachable structure is easy to clean and maintain, suitable for scenarios where the heat exchange medium is relatively clean.

The batch qualification rate of a certain pharmaceutical company has increased to 99.8% after use. In food processing, it is used for processes such as milk disinfection and juice concentration to improve production efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
