ViscoLine™ Regenerator Unit The tubular heat exchanger series from Alfa Laval Applications The ViscoLineTM Regenerator unit is designed for product-toproduct heat exchange (recovery). This regenerator is ideal for the heating, cooling and pasteurisation of products with low viscosity, and products that contain fibres and small particulates. These units are most commonly used for low viscous products such as fruit juices. Standard design The ViscoLine Regenerator unit consists of a removable bundle of tubes mounted inside an outer shell, and welded onto tube plates at both ends. The sterilized product flows inside the bundled tubes, and the non-sterilized product outside, in counter-current flow. All tubes are connected in parallel. The ViscoLine Regenerator unit is provided with specially designed double 180° elbows for processing pulpy juices. The tube plates have a conical tube hole to ease the flow of the product inside the tubes. Tubes are welded and roller expanded into the tube sheets. If required, these product tubes can feature a corrugated surface, either hard or dimpled. The service media shell is hard corrugated. ViscoLine Regenerator modules are normally connected in series and grouped on a common frame. The only spare parts needed are the O-rings in the header. Standard materials Other materials are available on request.

Technical data Mechanical design pressure The ViscoLine Regenerator unit was designed for a pressure of 16 bar (232 PSI), depending on the connection. The unit can, however, accommodate higher-pressure ratings, depending on component thickness and connection type. The ViscoLine Regenerator 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). Connections Product side (tubes) SMS union parts ISO union parts (IDF) Clamp union parts...
