Description
XLG®PH Pharmagrade heat exchangers are shell and tube heat exchangers which use pharmaceutical quality inner tubes. Tube bundles can be fully welded or removable. The units incorporate high quality inner tubes specially manufactured for processes in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, with a surface roughness adapted to the nature of the process. The internal tubes are corrugated in order to significantly increase the rate of heat transfer.
The fluid to be processed (product) flows through the inner tubes and the service fluid over the inner tubes through the shell. The fluids are completely isolated from one another, the heat being transferred through the inner tube walls.
Double tubeplates are provided at each end, each with a separation air gap. The tubes are welded into the outer (sterile) tubeplate and roller expanded into the other non-sterile plate.
