Product Heaters & Coolers

Product Details

Pharmaceutical processing facilities achieve uniform product blending largely due to consistent and accurate product temperature throughout blending operations. Enerquip shell and tube exchangers offer efficient heat transfer with both large and small batch products, providing consistency in pharmaceutical product heating and cooling.

Shell and tube heat exchangers have several advantages over other types of heat exchangers for product heating and cooling in the pharmaceutical industry. They are designed with stainless steel surfaces that are polished to low Ra finishes, which makes the surfaces resistant to product build-up and easier to clean. Shell and tubes can process products that are more viscous than many other types of exchangers. They also allow easier visual verification that surfaces are cleaned than a spiral exchanger or plate and frame exchanger, since surfaces can be viewed either through a sightglass or with the use of a borescope. Shell and tube exchangers can also operate safely at much higher (and lower) temperatures than other designs and can be designed to work under vacuum or high pressure conditions.

Shell and tube heat exchangers can also be designed in a variety of configurations, such as single pass or multi-pass straight tube units, or multi-pass U-tube units. They can be designed to operate horizontally, inclined, or vertically depending on the space available for installation.
