Graphite Heat Exchanger
Graphite Heat Exchanger covers heat-transfer passages made from duty-specified impervious graphite. Heat passes between fluid streams through a separating surface; channel geometry and materials shape heat transfer and pressure loss.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A heat exchanger is a device built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. Graphite Heat Exchanger is a heat exchanger, the heat transfer medium of which is made of graphite. Graphite materials are used in heat exchangers because they provide good refractory, mechanical properties and high thermal conductivity. Graphite Heat Exchangers are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, military and aerospace, medical equipment, lasers, analytical instrumentation, power electronics, semiconductor equipment, machine tools, telecommunications, and more.
The distinguishing feature is heat-transfer passages made from duty-specified impervious graphite. Specify both streams' inlet conditions, flow and allowable pressure loss before comparing surface area. Fouling, viscosity and phase change alter heat transfer and hydraulic resistance. Check the temperature approach and cleaning route; added area cannot compensate for a blocked channel or an incompatible separating wall.
What turns activity into demand
Required thermal duty becomes a purchase after pressure loss, fouling, materials and cleaning access are resolved.
The commercial boundary
Separate exchanger core, complete skid and cooling system; area, capacity and unit count are distinct reporting measures.
Why can a correctly sized heat exchanger miss its installed duty?
