HRS F Series: Pharmaceutical corrugated tube heat exchanger.

The F series heat exchanger is an all stainless steel shell and tube heat exchanger designed for the pharmaceutical industry. The product to be heated or cooled flows through the interior tubes. The media fluid flows through the surrounding shell. The F series is the ideal heat exchanger for applications such as WFI. Corrugated tubes are used to increase heat transfer rates which makes the F series much more efficient than normal smooth tube heat exchangers.

Applications.

  • Water to water.
  • Steam to water.
  • Heating / Cooling.

Materials.

  • Shell side: AISI 304 stainless steel or AISI 316L stainless steel.
  • Tube side: AISI 316L stainless steel.

Connections.

  • Shell side: DIN flange.
  • Tube side: ASME BPE clamp.

Finishing.

  • Externally polished.
  • Tubeside: <0,4 microns (with or without electropolishing)

Design conditions.

  • Shell side: 10 barg / 185 °C.
  • Tube side: 10 barg / 185 °C.

An expansion bellow is fitted in the outer shell for absorbing the differential expansion between the shell and the inner tubes.

  • Cutaway of a F Series (pharmaceutical) heat exchanger.

A double tubeplate is fitted to avoid cross contamination between the shell and tube side fluids, as protection in case of a possible leak. The tube side connection is manufactured as an ASME BPE clamp finish.
