ViscoLine™ Monotube Unit The tubular heat exchanger series from Alfa Laval Applications The ViscoLineTM Monotube unit is a tube-in-tube heat exchanger that is ideal for the heating, cooling and pasteurization of products with low and average viscosity, and products that contain fibres, particles and particulates. These units are most commonly used for fruit pulp, grape mash, wine must, fruit slurry, starch, diced tomato, diced vegetable and diced fruits, as well as sauces and soups that contain particles. Standard design The ViscoLine Monotube heat exchanger consists of a single tube mounted inside an outer shell. The product medium flows inside this tube, and the service medium around it. The product medium inside the tube flows in countercurrently in relation to the service medium. The product tube can be hard or dimple corrugated or it can be smooth. The service media shell is made of material that is either hard or dimple corrugated or without corrugation (smooth). ViscoLine Monotube modules are normally connected in series and grouped on a common frame. The installation is maintenance free, thus eliminating any need for spare parts. Standard materials Other materials are available on request.

Technical data Mechanical design pressure The ViscoLine Monotube unit was designed for a pressure of 25 bar (363 PSI) on the product side (tube) and 10 bar (145 PSI) on the service side (shell), depending on the connection. The unit can, however, accommodate higher pressure ratings, depending on component thickness and connection type. The ViscoLine Monotube unit complies with the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), and is entitled to bear the CE mark, though depending on the design of the connections. It is designed to operate at a temperature of 140°C (284°F). All units are...
