Exergy designs its Sanitary Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers to meet the strict temperature control demands of high-purity applications. These exchangers feature 316L stainless steel as the standard construction material, with options for more exotic materials like Hastelloy® and Inconel® to ensure excellent performance in high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments. Equipped with sanitary fittings, electropolished surfaces, and customizable double tube sheet designs, these exchangers prevent cross-contamination and ensure compliance with the rigorous sanitary standards required in industries such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
Performance Specs:
Heat transfer rates up to 5,000,000 BTU/hr. (1465 kW)
Liquid flows to 250 GPM (946 LPM)
Pressures up to 1,500 psi (104 bar)
Design Advantages:
Compact Design: The exchangers combine high heat transfer area and low weight in the most compact footprint available, ideal for environments where space is at a premium.
Surface Finish: Standard Surface Finish of 20μin (0.5μm) Ra and can be upgraded to a superior 15μin (0.38μm) Ra for even greater cleanliness. This electropolished finish complies with ASME BPE SF4 standards, ensuring a hygienic surface that is critical for high-purity applications.
Hydrophobic Coating: NSF certified and FDA compliant coating process specially functionalized to achieve industry-leading chemical inertness and non-stick properties in high sterility applications.
Sanitary Compliance: Exergy features ASME BPE design considerations and offers full drainability on the tube side, important to clean-in-place processes in sensitive applications.
Double-Tube Sheet: To prevent cross-contamination between working fluids and product streams, these exchangers are built to meet ASME BPE double-tube sheet design standards to ensure process purity in regulated environments.
