Shell and tube heat exchanger Funke series SSCF/P
A heat exchanger for universal use in modular systems with a heat exchange surface area from 0.11 m2 to 11.45 m2. 110 geometric dimensions, 3 types of materials used, 2 types of construction (fixed and floating pipe grating) form an extensive standard-size range:
- SSCF Stainless steel(SS); fixed pipe grating (F)
The heat exchanger with a fixed tube grid can be manufactured in one-, two- and four-way versions, in the series with a floating tube grid, only one- and two-way versions are available due to design difficulties.
The separation of the geometry of the tube bundle into O- and W-versions allows for excellent optimizations in terms of thermal conductivity and pressure loss: in the case of the O-version, reducing the flow section of the guide partition facilitates the heat exchange process, but complicates the flow of the medium. The W-version (wide step between partitions) solves the trade-off between efficient heat transfer and pressure losses for media with a high viscosity value. All models in this series are operable in both horizontal and vertical positions.
When using CuZn28Sn F32, CuZn20 Al F34, CuNi30Fe F37 and SF-Cu tubes, the tube grid of BCF, BCP, CCF and CCP heat exchangers is equipped with special anodes that extend the service life of the device. These anodes are made of tin and are installed in the pipe space area by means of a 3/8" NPT thread. Over time, the thickness of the anode decreases, and a small leak through a special hole signals the need for replacement.
Areas of application
- A very wide range of applications for all major tasks in the field of heat transfer.
- According to the requirements, taking into account the working environments and environmental conditions, these types of heat exchangers are mostly used as coolers for oil, water or other liquids.
Steam flow is possible only in the inter-tube space according to the restrictions. The contaminated working medium should preferably flow in the pipe area, where it is easy to implement a high flow rate (to prevent contamination) by using a multi-pass design.
