1. Q: What are the core structural features of a spiral tube heat exchanger?

A: The core is a combination of spirally wound heat exchange tubes and shell. The tube-side/shell-side medium flows in a spiral state, with a large contact area, stable flow field, and strong anti-fouling ability.

2.Q:What are the advantages of this type of heat exchanger compared to shell-and-tube heat exchangers?

A: It has a high heat transfer coefficient of 30%-50%, a compact size (occupying only 1/3 the space of a shell-and-tube type), is resistant to impact loads, and is suitable for viscous media or fluids containing particles.

3.Q:In which industries are spiral tube heat exchangers mainly used?

A:It is widely used in petrochemical, new energy (LNG/hydrogen), fine chemical, food and pharmaceutical, metallurgy, waste heat recovery and other fields.

4. Q: What is the applicable range of working parameters?

A: The standard design pressure is ≤10MPa and the temperature is -196℃~450℃. High temperature and high pressure or cryogenic working condition models can be customized according to requirements.

5. Q: Why does this heat exchanger have better anti-fouling performance?

A: The fixed column can fix the spacing of the spiral plates, improve the overall structural strength of the equipment, and ensure that the fluid is evenly distributed in the channel.

6.Q:What parameters should we focus on when selecting a model?

A: A: Medium composition, flow rate, inlet/outlet temperature/pressure, corrosivity, viscosity, and whether it contains particles/fibers (requires matching flow channel design).

7.Q: Question: What are the options for heat exchanger tube materials?

A: The standard material is 304/316L stainless steel, while for special working conditions, corrosion-resistant materials such as Hastelloy, titanium alloy, and duplex steel can be selected.

8. Q: Does this heat exchanger support simultaneous heat exchange of multiple media?

A: Yes! Multi-pass/multi-shell structures can be designed to achieve simultaneous heat exchange of 2-4 media, adapting to complex process requirements.

9.Q: How is safety ensured during operation?

A: The shell is made using an integral molding process and is equipped with pressure monitoring and temperature alarm devices; the heat exchange tubes and tube sheet are connected by a combination of welding and expansion to eliminate the risk of leakage.

10. Q: What are the key points of maintenance?

A: Regularly clean shell-side/tube-side impurities (using chemical cleaning or high-pressure flushing); check the aging of seals; monitor heat transfer efficiency and promptly identify and resolve blockages.
