Energy Efficiency Revamping Project Planning & Consulting Service:

Consulting service for the choice of the most suitable solution & type of heat exchanger, in order to:

  • Economically – higher energy efficiency, lower operating expense.
  • Operationally – the solution of long-term leakage from existing equipment.
  • Maintenance – minimizes the possibility and time of shutdown maintenance caused by fouling.
  • Reliability – the inherent safer equipment improves the reliability.

2.The improvement of the heat recovery efficiency at the crucial position of process, such as the reactor feed/effluent and the top of the distillation unit etc.

3.The multiple parallel/in series conventional shell and tube heat exchangers were replaced by one set of spiral tube heat exchanger (Note 1) through our consulting and planning. The integration simplifies the installation space and the surrounding structure and piping.

4.The heat integration service for partial or whole process.

5.Consulting service for other process revamping project.


Five Major Benefits for Spiral Tube Heat Exchanger (STHE):

  • 1.Zero-Leakage:

    The robustness feature minimizes the possibility of equipment broken and leakage.
  • 2.Energy Saving:

    The heat transfer efficiency of STHE is 40% to 50% better than the conventional shell & tube heat exchanger. The spiral tube configuration enables the fluid to be continuously turbulent in both hot & cold side (shell side and tube side). In addition, it has wide area for heat transfer.
  • 3.Simplicity:

    The multiple parallel/in series conventional shell and tube heat exchangers replaced by one set of spiral tube heat exchanger are feasible, which simplifies the installation space and the surrounding structure and piping.
  • 4.Resilience to Process Upsets:

    The STHE is inherent robust thanks to its spring shape configuration, which can sustain the sudden violent fluctuation of high pressure and temperature caused by emergency stop or other operation incident.
  • 5.Anti-Fouling:

    No baffle design, no dead end in the shell side and the unique tube bundle structure enables the fluid to be continuously turbulent for fluid, which provides excellent anti-fouling feature.
