The overall heat transfer co-efficient of Borosilicate glass equipment is comparatively favourable with many alternative materials because of its smooth surface which improves the thermal coefficient & reuce the tenency of fouling. Heat Exchangers are available in basics esigns: 1. Conventional Coil Type Conensers.. Shell & Tube Type. 34
SHE AND TUBE INTRODUCTION Shell & tube heat exchangers offer large surface area in combination with efficient heat transfer an compactness. These are wiely use in inustries for various uties like cooling, heating, conensation, evaporation etc. GOE are the pioneers in the fiel of glass shell an tube heat exchangers in Inia an their prouct has a wie market acceptability. SAIENT FEATURES 1. Universal corrosion resistance an excellent alternative to expensive MOCs like graphite, hastelloy, copper titanium, tantalum an other exotic metals.. Excellent heat transfer as fouling oes not occur on smooth glass surfaces. 3. Flexibility of installation vertical / horizontal. 4. Easy replacement of tubes for repair an cleaning. 5. Available in wie range of HTAs. 6. Ease of installation ue to light weight. 7. Economical. 8. Suitable for applications where large HTAs are require in limite space. ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONA COI TYPE (1) The overall heat transfer coefficient in shell an tube heat exchanger is about 3 times higher than in coil type heat exchanger. () The pressure rop in shell an tube heat exchanger is minimal compare to -3 kg/cm in coil sie of coil type heat exchanger. (3) For requirement of higher heat transfer areas shell an tube heat exchanger is the only alternative. HEADER CONSTRUCTION FEATURES The glass tubes are seale iniviually into PTFE tube sheet with special PTFE sockets an packing. This unique ferrule type sealing arrangement permits easy replacement an cleaning of tubes. Baffles on shell sie ensure improve heat transfer by increase turbulance. Further etails of construction can be seen in the iagram. - Mae from SCHOTT DURAN. - Joint less tubes offer better pressure rating.

METHODS OF USE Vapours from bottom This metho is simple to install over a reactor. However this results in conensate returning substantially at its conensing temperature. In this metho care must be taken that conensate is not excessive that it can lea to "logging" the coils an create back pressure in the system. Generally a reflux ivier is use below the conenser to take out the istillate. Vapour Vapour Vapours from top This metho prouce a cool conensate using the entire cooling surface area. This metho shoul be use where the conensate can lea to "logging" of coils. Conensate 38 * marke items are available fast.
BOIERS Boilers are use for vaporization of liquis by passing the steam in the coils. Boilers are mae by fusing number of parallel coils in a glass shell. In Boilers, coils are esigne to provie bigger cross section in the shell sie as compare to conensers. o The average heat transfer in Boilers is consiere as 350 Kcal/m,hr, C at a steam pressure of 3.5 bar.

ANGED HOSE CONNECTOR ASSEMBIES Metal / Plastic angle hose connector assemblies are available to connect the flexible hose to the conensers. These are provie with a mating flange, a rubber gasket an nut bolts. Cat.Ref. PMC1 5 70 IMMERSIONS Immersion heat exchangers are use to control exothermic reaction in glass vessels. They can be use with vessels having wier bottom outlet (type VSR an VSE). These are provie with a central hole through the coil battery so that a special, extene type, stirrer can be fitte which extens to the bottom of heat exchanger an provie through action. In most applications, cooling water is use in coils (max. pressure.7 bar g.), but they can also be use with steam (max. pressure 3.5 bar g.). In latter case the coils must be completely immerse in liqui. Immersions are not recommene for use with proucts which have a tenency to crystalise. 1 Cat. Actual Ref. 1 m H.T.A.

PRODUCT COOERS Prouct coolers are use for cooling of liquis, typically, for the cooling of istillates from the istillation columns. Unlike coil conensers, in prouct coolers, prouct travels through the coil battery an coolant through shell. This provies more resient time to the prouct to be coole. For irect connection with istillate lines, all the prouct coolers are provie with 5 connections. Actual Cat.Ref. HTA m Type HEF1/1* 50 5 1 450 0.1 A HEF1/* 50 5 1 600 0.
