Kaifeng Air Separation Signs the Largest Contract for Coiled Tube Heat Exchangers to Date Author/Source: Gas Separation Date: 2020-01-15 Clicks: 29 Recently, Kaifeng Air Separation successfully signed a contract for coiled tube heat exchangers used in low-temperature methanol washing units with Shenghong Refining & Chemicals (Lianyungang) Co., Ltd. The total weight of this coil-type heat exchanger unit exceeds 1,000 tons, making it the largest-sized and highest-value coil order ever undertaken in Kaifeng Air Separation’s history. The signing of this project will surely significantly improve the company’s economic performance, setting a good start for the production and operations of Kaifeng Air Separation in 2020. Currently, the project has entered the design preparation phase, and it is scheduled to be delivered to users by the end of 2020. It is reported that Kaifeng Air Separation is the largest manufacturer of shell-and-tube heat exchangers in China, having so far completed the design and production of hundreds of such heat exchangers. Through years of technological innovation, Kaifeng Air Separation has overcome one challenge after another, and has undertaken numerous tasks related to the design, manufacturing, and development of **-grade shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Thanks to the **Ministry of Industry and Information Technology**-level LNG technology project, China’s first LNG coil-type heat exchanger was successfully developed, and it was awarded the title of one of the Top 10 Outstanding Performance Products in China’s energy equipment sector at the 5th China Energy Equipment Awards. Currently, Kaifeng Air Separation is working together with the Nuclear Research Institute of Tsinghua University on a **key research and development project: the intermediate heat exchanger for ultra-high temperature gas-cooled reactors, which has successfully demonstrated its research and development advantages and core competitiveness in the field of coil-type heat exchangers in China. It is understood that the coil-type heat exchangers developed by Kaifeng Air Separation feature a compact structure, high heat transfer efficiency, high pressure resistance, and a large capacity for single-unit processing. They offer advantages such as the ability to facilitate heat transfer across multiple flow paths and excellent performance in compensating for thermal stresses. Heat exchangers of this design are widely used in industries such as large-scale fertilizer production, air separation, natural gas liquefaction, coal gasification, ethylene production, and the nuclear industry. Kaifeng Air Separation stated that since the series of coil-type heat exchangers developed by the company were put into operation, they have demonstrated stable performance and have effectively met the technical requirements of customers, earning widespread praise from them. This has enabled Kaifeng Air Separation to establish a high-quality, premium brand image for these products in the industry.
