Tubular Heat Exchangers

In some cases, tube-type heat exchangers are used for pasteurization, as well as for sterilization of dairy products. Unlike plate heat exchangers, these heat exchangers do not have connection points in the product channel and therefore can be used to operate with products whose particles are limited to a certain size. The maximum particle size depends on the pipe diameter. When operating in sterilization mode, a tubular heat exchanger has to be stopped less often for cleaning than a plate heat exchanger. In terms of heat transfer, a tubular heat exchanger is less efficient than a plate heat exchanger.

APV has developed a new series of tubular heat exchangers - Product-to-Product (P2P). This latest heat transfer solution has the highest hygiene standards and offers improved heat transfer efficiency compared to a traditional tubular heat exchanger: reduced energy consumption, reduced size and capital investment.

Design of the new module does not require a secondary heating/cooling water circuit, which reduces the associated heat transfer and pump energy losses. It also provides a better flow pattern on the secondary THE side than traditional solutions to improve heat transfer efficiency and reduce process energy consumption.
