bo) HELIXCHANGER® Heat Exchanger HELIXCHANGER Conventional The concept The HELIXCHANGER® heat exchanger is a helically baffled shell and tube heat exchanger. Each baffle occupies about one quadrant of the cross section and is inclined with the centerline of the exchanger. Successive baffles are arranged as guide-vanes to create continuous helical and near plug-flow conditions on the shellside. Advantages Compared with conventional perpendicular segmentally baffled shell and tube heat exchangers, HELIKCHANGER heat exchangers offer the following advantages: = Enhanced heat transfer = Lower shellside fouling * Lower shellside pressure * Extended run-length and drop service life * Reduced investment costs * Reduced vibration hazards * Increased process capacity + Reduced maintenance costs Applications HELIXCHANGER heat exchangers are best suited for services in which the shellside heat transfer coefficient plays a determining tole and/or shellside pressure drop is controlling, where reduced shellside fouling is desired, and also when flow-induced vibrations are a concern. Shellside media may range from hydrogen-rich gas to water or viscous fluids with high fouling tendencies, in single-phase or two-phase flow. HELIXCHANGER heat exchangers can be designed with TEMA E, J or special multi-pass shells with multi-pass tube bundles. Applications are in the gas processing, refining, petrochemical and chemical industries, as well as the power, food and phar- maceutical industries, Some examples are: * Crude preheat exchangers + Compressor aftercoolers * Feed preheaters * Reactor feed-effluent * Oil coolers exchangers * Process gas coolers * Overhead condensers * Column reboilers HELIXCHANGER heat exchangers provide substantial cost benefits for new plants and for revamps of existing units Reductions in surface area of up to 30%, with smaller size or fewer number of shells, can be achieved, This provides significant savings in capital costs, piping/structural costs and plot space. HELIXCHANGER heat exchangers are particularly suited for plant revamps. Increases in process capacity of up to 40% can be achieved with replacement HELIXCHANGER bundles while also reducing maintenance requirements. Reuse of existing shells and piping provides significant savings in investment costs End user benefits = Capital cost savings - typically 2096 = Increased process capacity of up to 40% + Extended run-lengths of up to 3-4 times = Lower energy costs, pumping costs and downstream heating costs * Reduced maintenance costs + Lower total life cycle costs HELIXCHANGER configurations + HELIFIN® Heat Exchanger HELIXCHANGER heat exchanger with low-finned tubes. * HELITOWER Heat Exchanger "Texas-Tower” exchanger with HELIKCHANGER baffles, or HELIXCHANGER heat exchanger used ina vertical feed/effluent exchanger application * HELITURB Heat Exchanger HELIXCHANGER heat exchanger with tube-inserts * HELILOCK Heat Exchanger ~ HELIXCHANGER heat exchanger with Lummus Advanced Breech-Lock Exchanger® (LABLEX™) annel closure Customer service Lummus Technology Heat Transfer provides design engineering and supplies HELIXCHANGER heat exchangers through a global network of qualified licensed fabricators.
