Cubic heat exchangers KM

Product catalog summary

Applications
Impregnated graphite cubic single block exchangers are designed for handling corrosive fluids. They are particularly suitable for applications such as co- or countercurrent condensers in the pharmaceutical or fine chemical industries, cooling of acids or corrosive fluids, and heat exchange between two corrosive fluids.

Specific Characteristics
The exchangers are reliable and tough, made from a single block of graphite. They are compact, offering a high exchange area per volume unit, and adaptable with multipassing features. They provide high heat exchange capacity, prevent temperature crossing, and are resistant to thermal shocks. The design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance.

General Characteristics
The exchangers consist of an impregnated graphite block maintained under compression by assembly plates. Fluid flow is facilitated through drilled holes, and headers are made of impregnated graphite or cast iron/steel. The design allows for multipassing and optimization of fluid velocity, particularly useful in energy recovery applications.

Working Conditions
The maximum design pressure is 5.2 bars with cast iron heads and 6.9 bars with fabricated steel heads. The design temperature is 175°C. Models can have different drilling patterns, with hole diameters of either 9.5 mm or a combination of 9.5 mm and 4 mm.

Models and Specifications
The document lists various models with specifications such as hole diameter, exchange area, cross-section area, and weight. Models are categorized into different series, with exchange areas varying based on the circuit design.

Disclaimer
The specifications are indicative and subject to change. The document emphasizes the company's global presence and expertise in industrial components.

High reliability > Tough construction.ՕResistance to thermal shocks. Outside protection by metal plates which keep the gra-phite in compression.ՕEasy cleaning because of short channels, simple designand easy dismantling.No gaskets or cemented parts inside the equipment. ՕUse of high mechanical strength graphite. Compact construction > Maximum active area for a small volume.ՕCubical exchangers are much smaller than all other typesof exchangers. With equivalent overall dimensions, a cubical exchanger provides between 5 to 10times more exchange area than a shell and tube exchanger. Flow diagram...
