Tube exchangers - Import export

Temperature control of gaseous and liquid media Flat tube heat exchangers are generally used as air / air or air / liquid heat exchangers. Flat tube heat exchangers are used where the (exhaust) air is polluted and the installation space is limited. In heat recovery in particular, there are numerous applications for flat tube heat exchangers as so-called exhaust gas / exhaust air heat exchangers. Little installation space and less pressure loss While the rows of tubes in smooth tube heat exchangers consist of round tubes, the rows of tubes in flat tube heat exchangers have a special profile (see illustration). This special tube profile offers advantages over the round profile in certain applications. Flat tube heat exchangers require less installation space than smooth tube heat exchangers with the same exchange area and are therefore also lighter.

Air-water / air-air heat exchanger as smooth tube heat exchanger up to 1,000 ° C Smooth tube heat exchanger as an air / water heat exchanger In the case of air-water heat exchangers (also called gas-water heat exchangers), a temperature exchange takes place between a gas (usually air) and a liquid. As a rule, the liquid medium flows inside the pipes, while the gaseous medium flows around the pipes outside the pipes. Smooth tube heat exchangers can cover various areas of application: heating, cooling and condensing as well as heat recovery. Smooth tube heat exchanger as air-to-air heat exchanger Smooth tube heat exchangers are also often used as air-to-air heat exchangers. In this application, a gas (e.g. exhaust air or exhaust gases) flows inside the pipes and a gas (e.g. fresh air) outside the pipes around the pipes.

Air heat exchangers as finned tube heat exchangers Heat transfer between a gaseous media and a liquid Finned tube heat exchangers are often called air/water heat exchangers or gas/water heat exchangers. Heat transfer between a gas (for ex. air) and a liquid (for ex. water) takes place in the air-/water heat exchangers. To improve the thermal output transfer from the gas to the liquid, fins made of well heat transferring materials are put on the tubes. Very often air-/water heat exchangers are used as exhaust heat exchanger to gain the energy out of warm or hot exhaust fumes. Finned tube heat exchangers can also be used as air heater, air cooler or condenser.

Tubes wound into a spiral shape Coaxial heat exchangers consist of two or more pipe coils, which are routed into one another and wound up in a spiral shape. The primary medium runs in countercurrent to the secondary medium. Fast temperature exchange This countercurrent design achieves a very rapid temperature transition with high efficiency between the liquids. Due to the spiral shape, the rapid temperature exchange between the liquids is achieved in a very small space. No cleaning or maintenance required Another advantage is the encapsulation of both liquids from environmental influences. There is practically no cleaning or maintenance effort due to pollution from the environment. The coaxial heat exchanger also does not require any seals that require maintenance. Condenser or evaporator function Coaxial heat exchangers can be used for both condenser and evaporator functions.

Customized air-water heat exchangers for industrial use Three types of air-water heat exchangers Three different designs o air-water heat exchangers The Anthermo GmbH delivers three different designs of air-water heat exchangers: Finned tube heat exchangers Lamella heat exchangers Straight tube heat exchangers These heat exchangers are designed in a way, that inside the tube water or another liquid circulates. The air flows around outside the tubes or the fins/lamellas. The connection between the fins and the tube is used to enlarge the space for heat transfer between the liquid and the gas fluid. The technical figures (for ex. amount of air, temperature, pressure, waste of air) can be different for the air-water heat exchanger. Also the operating conditions and the environment conditions can vary from application to application.

Finned tubes for efficient heat exchange Large exchange area in a small space By using finned tubes (also known as corrugated rib tubes), optimal heat exchange can be achieved in a small space. By applying so-called ribs to smooth tubes, the exchange area of ​​the tubes is increased considerably. Finned tubes are usually used where an optimal temperature exchange between gaseous media and liquids is to be achieved. Different designs for every purpose In many cases, finned tubes are built into production machines as a component in machine and apparatus construction. Finned tubes can be designed for a variety of special application conditions. The length, the design and the ribbing can be individually adapted.

Temperature control of liquids Tube coil heat exchangers (so-called tube cooling coil heat exchangers) are generally used to control the temperature of liquids. This system can also be used to heat or cool liquids in a controlled manner. Due to their special shape, pipe coil heat exchangers are sometimes also called hairpin heat exchangers. Inexpensive applications The simple and solid structure enables it to be used in cost-effective applications. Coiled tube evaporator systems are ideally suited for brine and glycol applications. Classic variant Coiled tube evaporator systems are a classic and proven variant in the field of heat exchanger systems. Coiled tube heat exchangers are often used in ice storage systems or in the production of cold water units. In ice storage systems, coils can be used to achieve an even build-up of ice around the coils.
