What are the advantages of double-arch plate heat exchangers?
The tube bundle of the double-arch heat exchanger is supported by keys formed by two adjacent types of baffle plates; the fluid flows in a cross-flow pattern, which overcomes the dead zones caused by the 180° turn in the flow of the fluid in conventional arch heat exchangers. This eliminates the problems of high resistance and vibration. Under the same shell-side pressure drop, the flow velocity of the fluid in the shell side of a double-arch heat exchanger can be increased by more than 1.5 times, thereby enhancing heat transfer.
Increase flow rate, reduce flow dead zones, lower pressure drop, and improve heat transfer efficiency!
