Hipex CIP Heaters solve problems of Thermal Expansion
Heat Exchangers
Hipex manufactures a large range of heat exchangers. For Cip work special Polytube (shell and tube) heat exchangers have been designed to absorb the intermittent heat loads and subsequent thermal shock typical of the Cip heater.
Cip Heaters
Hipex provides two common sizes of dedicated Cip heaters. The smaller of the two is capable of heat loads up to 1,500 kW and flow rates of up to 50,000 l/h, while the bigger offers double the capacity. Both units are capable of operating with steam up to 1,000 kPa.
Features of Hipex Cip Heating
Hipex have developed a unique shell corrugation to minimise the mechanical stresses that the thermal shocks produce in CIP heating. This exclusive shell corrugation converts the entire shell of the heat exchanger into an expansion bellows which absorbs and reduces thermal stress in both the shell and tubes.
- The corrugations increase the heat transfer coefficient by up to 200%.
- This allows for a compact heat exchanger with less surface area. This reduces the cost and saves space.
- Another advantage of the Hipex corrugations is a reduction in pressure loss.
- Hipex Cip heat exchangers are designed for high steam pressure and temperatures the size and cost of the steam valve manifold can be substantially reduced. This, together with the absence of gaskets, downtime and maintenance costs have been virtually eliminated.
When you choose a Hipex heat exchanger you have the assurance of a thoroughly tested and proven product. The Hipex range of heat exchangers includes double pipe, shell and tube and the Mixchanger which can be configured to suit your particular process requirements.
Other size Cip heaters are available on request. Please contact Hipex for a design suited to your particular requirements.
