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.
