Sondex All Welded Heat Exchanger (SAW)
WHAT IS IT
Plate heat exchanger is heat transfer equipment used to transfer heat from one medium to the other indirectly.
The product development at Sondex has now made it possible to obtain thermal efficiency in a welded heat exchanger like in a traditional gasketed plate heat exchanger. This has been archived by transferring the technology from plate heat exchangers to the new welded range.
The SAW heat exchanger is built into a frame with its welded plate pack. The perfect solution for heat transmission duties, which cannot be handled in a normal gasketed plate heat exchanger because of a too high design temperature, design pressure, or if there is no suitable gasket material for the media which are to be treated in the heat exchanger.
The SAW heat exchanger is designed for temperatures from -100 to 400°C and design pressures up to 4,0 MPa.
The SAW (Sondex All Welded) Heat Exchanger is designed to cover applications with close temperature approach between the two media in the heat exchanger. This range of SAW units has been designed as a plate design where there are contact points between the plates as well as with free flow (no contact points) on one of the flow channels. This makes it possible to use the welded heat exchanger also for products containing particles and fibres.
WHERE CAN IT BE USED
Typical applications for this kind of heat exchangers are high temperature and high pressure applications as well as aggressive media, where there is no solution for gasketed plate heat exchangers.
The applications of the Sondex range of welded heat exchangers are very big, as it appears from below list of possible applications of the units.
- District cooling
- Power plants
- Chemical processing
- Steel industries
- Paper industries
- Oil and gas industries
- Petrochemical industries
- Marine applications
- Sugar industries
- Vegetable oil industries
- CIP heater in food & dairy plants
- Refrigeration plants
WHY IS IT GREEN
- Small space requirement (only 30% of a traditional tubular heat exchanger)
- Small liquid volume
- High working pressure
- Safe operation without leaking
- No gaskets
- Laser welded plates
- High operation safety
- Exact energy transfer
- Low running costs
