Cetetube - Shell and tube heat exchanger - Alfa Laval - #1

Text version of the page

Shell and tube heat exchanger Cetetube The Cetetube range of liquid/liquid heat exchangers comprises a number of sizes, with ratings of up to around 5 MW. The Cetetube is manufactured in three different basic thermal lengths. So it is easy to find a heat exchanger that will offer optimum properties for most operating conditions. Thermally optimized A Cetetube coil consists of finned copper tubes. The finned tube is designed to provide flow areas to suit modern operating conditions in heat exchange technology. Due to the fins, the outside heat transfer area of the tube is many times larger and they also serve as distinct spacers between the tube rows to ensure stability of the coil. Due to the stability and thus the repeatability in production, every Cetetube heat exchanger maintains the specified output. The heat exchanger is designed to ensure turbulent flow both inside and outside the tubes. The turbulent flow is favourable from the heat exchange viewpoint and makes the heat exchangers self-cleaning, with little risk of fouling of the heat transfer surfaces. For a variety of operating conditions The Cetetube is designed for the same pressures and temperatures on both sides. The same heat exchanger type can be used for different operating conditions, and all of them can be used in heating, ventilation and hot water systems. In order to put the heat transfer capacity of the heat exchanger to maximum use, the higher flow rate is routed through the shell. However, for domestic hot water, the tap water flow must always be connected to the coil side.
