Reactor cooler structure
Thread Content
Seeking information on the structure (type) of the cooler inside the reactor, with high heat transfer efficiency required.
In reaction vessels, internal coil cooling is often used, with the coils coming into direct contact with the medium
Cooling in the reaction tank is achieved only through coiled tubes; to speed up the cooling process, these tubes should be thicker, providing a larger cooling surface area, and the temperature of the cooling medium should be lower.
In kettles, coiled tubes are generally used; if the medium tends to form wax deposits to a significant extent, it is recommended to switch to a spiral plate heat exchanger design, as this may yield better heat exchange performance.
Reply to 3# dysysjc: Since the reaction vessel does not require stirring, the heat transfer efficiency of coil coolers is generally not very good.
The cooler inside the reaction vessel needs to take the following aspects into consideration: 1. Sufficient heat transfer area； 2. Appropriate pipe diameter to ensure adequate flow of cooling water ； 3. Install appropriate fasteners to prevent the cooler inside the tank from shaking during operation ；
Coils are generally used; if the material is clean, a plate-fin heat exchanger can be considered
I’m asking if it’s possible to use saltwater for cooling
Of course. The inner coil is cooled with brine
