WHERE TO BUY

FEATURES

Designed for your process needs by food processing experts

  • Long runtimes Easy to clean 
  • Minimal maintenance 
  • Robust, reliable operation 
  • Handles challenging process fluids including medium to higher viscosity products with large particulates

A tubular heat exchanger (THE) is used to warm or cool a product by exchanging heat between the process fluid and a service fluid, which is typically water, ice water, glycol or steam. The hot or cold service fluid flows around the tubes within the THE and heat is transferred between the product and the media. The rate of heat transfer is dependent on the tubular heat exchanger configuration, temperature differential, size of tubes, turbulence in the flow and flow velocity. Different configurations are available, and the selection of the best solution is based on the properties of the process fluid and production goals. Our experience and expertise will help ensure you receive the best solution for your specific needs in terms of production goals, costs, efficiency and product quality.

Theory of Operation

How the ParaTube Tubular Heat Exchanger works

The THE is used to warm or cool a product by exchanging heat between the product and a service fluid, which is typically water, ice water, glycol or steam. The hot or cold service fluid flows around the tubes within the THE and heat is transferred between the product and the service fluid.

OPTIONS & PERFORMANCE

APV ParaTube tubular heat exchangers offer many processing advantages, including the ability to handle high pressures and temperatures; fluids with large quantities of particulates, and high viscosity products. Designed for sanitary use and clean-in-place (CIP) they are robust, offer long process runtimes, and are easy to maintain.  

With different types and a wide range of options, APV ParaTube THEs have been designed with expert knowledge and understanding of the needs of the dairy, nutrition and health industries. They can be supplied with smooth or corrugated tubes, in a range of construction materials from stainless steel to special alloys to suit fluid properties and are carefully customized to process duty requirements. Whatever your heat transfer needs, our experts will help you find the best solution.
