Text version of the page

ViscoLine™ CIP Unit The tubular heat exchanger series from Alfa Laval Applications The ViscoLineTM CIP unit is ideal for heating of water or CIP solutions by means of steam, less demanding applications to process low and average viscosity products. Products can contain fibres and small particulates. Also suitable for general heating and cooling applications. Working principle The heat exchanger is formed by a tube bundle (welded at both ends onto flat tube plates) inside a shell. Product medium flows inside the tubes of the bundle and the service medium between and around these tubes. This makes it compact and easy to install. All tubes are connected in parallel and in counter-current flow to the service medium. The product tubes are corrugated. The service media shell is smooth. Standard materials Product side (tubes): in AISI 316 Service side (shell): in AISI 304 Frame: in AISI 304 Vertical installation is recommended for steam to water heating ViscoLine CIP with open sectional view, hard corrugated Graphic representation of the flow pattern in the ViscoLine CIP Unit.
