SiC Heat Exchanger
SiC Heat Exchanger
Silicon Carbide (SIC) Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Our Silicon Carbide heat exchanger can be used as an excellent substitute to replace heat exchangers made of Hestalloy, Titanium, Fluoroplastic, Glass, Graphite etc for corrosive application.
Silicon carbide heat exchanger boost of high strength, high temperature resistance, high thermal conductivity & excellent acid and alkali corrosion resistance. its outstanding thermal conductivity contributes to lower surface area for same heat duty compared to other material there by reducing the size of heat exchanger.
Advantage Of SI-C Over Graphite
SI-C Is FDA Approved as it does not contain any binders or impregnation like graphite hence no leaching of corrosive solutions through its surface
Applications of SiC Heat Exchanger
- Pharmaceutical, Api & Bulk drugs
- Fine Chemicals
- Bromine, Sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, hydro chloric acid etc.
- Sodium hydroxides & other alkalis
- Hydrogenated compounds
- brine solution & organic compounds
Advantages SiC Heat Exchanger
- Much higher thermal conductivity then other corrosion resistant materials except graphite.
- Less heat exchange area(HTA) with same heat exchange efficiency(THE)
- Smaller size
- Long service life
- Lower cost
- Unlike graphite, silicon carbide does not contain binders to leach out in corrosive solutions
- Silicon carbide help minimize fouling & scaling that would reduce heat transfer rates of metals and graphite.
