Do you know anything about UOP high-throughput tubes? How is it used domestically? Are there any relevant performance metrics{:3_67:}
I’ll take on it myself; please reply, experts
I have a basic understanding of it and use it frequently. The heat transfer coefficient on the boiling side can reach 10–30 times that of a bare tube, while domestic products claim a value of 5–15 times, or sometimes 2–10 times; in reality it is likely to be close to the lower end of this range.
Since 2010, UOP’s performance in the domestic market has been in single digits – it can be counted on one hand. It is possible to imagine UOP’s performance in the domestic high-pressure tube market. Domestic high-pressure tubes have been in development for 10 years now, and their current level is not much different from that of UOP’s.
If you are concerned about the high throughput in domestic conditions, you can increase the heat exchange area slightly.
Wuxi Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd. in China, in collaboration with East China University of Science and Technology, has successfully developed this type of high-throughput tube reboiler, which has been used in numerous engineering projects, including many large-scale initiatives carried out by the three major oil companies as well as Zhejiang Petrochemical.
