2. Pharmaceutical intermediate processing

3. Biochemical production

4. Sterile liquid heating and cooling

5. Corrosion-resistant process systems

Technical Specifications

Working Principle

The heat exchanger transfers thermal energy between circulating water flowing through the titanium coil tubes and the betaine solution contained within the shell.

During operation:

1. Circulating water flows through the titanium coil.

2. Betaine solution flows through the shell side.

3. Heat is transferred through the titanium tube walls.

4. The required sterilization temperature is achieved and maintained.

5. Process temperature remains stable through continuous heat exchange.

The coiled tube configuration increases the heat transfer surface area and promotes efficient thermal exchange while minimizing equipment footprint.
