Advanced Process Solutions

Multi tube heat exchangers consist of three or more parallel tubes inside of a shell. Product flows inside the smaller tubes. This design is ideal for homogenous products with thin to medium viscosities, with or without particulates. Application Multi tube heat exchangers are ideal for thin product processing. They can be utilized with pulpy products. Our exclusive and unique “clean-head” design removes all flat surfaces from the tube sheet distribution face for optimum low distribution and CIP cleaning. Multi-tube heat exchangers offer parallel product flow paths for maximum heat transfer area in a small package, with minimum pressure drops. Ideal for juices, nutritional drinks, tea, coffee, milk, and most ready to drink products. Also used on sauces, soups, and concentrates.

The double tube design is the most basic type of tubular heat exchanger consisting of a tube within a tube. The tube diameter (up to 4”) makes it ideal for processing viscous products which may or may not contain particulates. Application Double tube heat exchangers are ideal for particulate processing, direct regeneration heat recovery, or where the use of a product pig for minimized loss is required.

Triple tube heat exchangers have about twice the area of double tube / linear foot. They consist of three concentric tubes — product normally flows in the annular space between the inner and middle tubes. They are well-suited for thick viscosity products, with or without particulates. Application Triple tube heat exchangers are ideal for viscous product processing or for direct regeneration heat recovery. Because of the unique nature of the units with media located both on the exterior and interior, and with the product running through a corrugated channel, heat transfer of more viscous products is optimized. Unique dual o-ring design with leak detect to atmosphere separates product from media for safety and security.
