Industrial Glass - Heat Exchangers - Shell and Tube
 
 

Shell & Tube heat exchangers offer large surface area in combination with efficient heat transfer and compactness. These are widely used in industries for various duties like cooling, heating, condensation, evaporation etc. Garg are the pioneers in the field of glass shell and tube heat exchangers in India and their product has wide market acceptability.

Salient Features :

1.Universal corrosion resistance an excellent alternative to expensive MOCs like graphite, hastelloy, copper titanium, tantalum and other exotic metals.

2. Excellent heat transfer as fouling does not occur on smooth glass surfaces.

3. Flexibility of installation vertical/horizontal.

4. Easy replacement of tubes for repair and cleaning.

5. Available in wide range of HTAs.

6. Ease of installation due to light weight.

7. Economical.

8. Suitable for applications where large HTAs are required in limited space.

Advantages Over Conventional Coil Type Heat Exchangers :

1. The overall heat transfer coefficient in shell and tube heat exchanger is about 3 times higher than in coil type heat exchanger.

2. The pressure drop in shell and tube heat exchanger is minimal compared to 2-3 kg/cm2 in coil side of coil type heat exchanger.

3. For requirement of higher heat transfer areas shell and tube heat exchanger is the only alternative.

Construction Features :

The glass tubes are sealed individually into PTFE tube sheet with special PTFE sockets and packing. This unique ferrule type sealing arrangement permits easy replacement and cleaning of tubes. Baffles on shell side ensure improved heat transfer by increased turbulance. Further details of construction an be seen in the diagram.

TYPE:
Three basic versions * are available :

Material Of Construction

 Model Shell Tube Header Duty
 RGG Glass Glass Glass For heat transfer between two aggressive media.
 RGM Glass Glass Steel/FRP For heat transfer between aggressive media in shell & non-aggressive media in tubes. 
 RMG Steel/FRP Glass Glass For heat transfer between aggressive media in tubes & non-aggressive media in shell

 * Garg provides assistance to clients for selecting the right model for specific duty.

The above ranges of applications are admissible limiting values. For each specific case Garg recommends the admissible operating data based on the relations between pressure and temperature, size and model.

Performance & Design Data :

The particular advantage of shell & tube heat exchanger is high heat transfer performance. The relation between heat transfer and velocity of flow can be easily seen in the diagram. On receipt of the operating data from client the most favourable shell and tube heat exchanger is selected. This accurate design combined with most reliable quality assurance ensures economy and operational reliability for the user.
