Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger For Ultra-Pure
Environment Heat Transfer with fluopolymer tubing coil housed in CPVC
shell.
FLUOROTHERM SHELL AND TUBE
HEAT EXCHANGER
Fluorotherm's shell and tube heat exchangers are designed for
applications where chemical inertness to aggressive fluids is critical.
The major applications for these units are in the semiconductor and
biotechnology (ultrapure), environmental, laboratory and products
finishing industries. These units have been designed
with efficient heat transfer as the primary purpose.

Design Features
The tube side fluid flows through an ultrapure, chemically inert
fluoropolymer pathway. The unit can be operated in true counterflow or
in parallel flow mode. The unidirectional shell and tube side flows
allow for complete purging of the unit after a batch operation is
completed. Also, since there is no flow reversal, the formation of
stagnant pockets is eliminated during continuous or batch operation.
Materials Available
Standard shell side materials available are PVC and CPVC. Tubing is
available in PTFE, FEP, and PFA Selection of tubing type is based on,
among other factors, the maximum internal pressure and the expected
pressure drop* during operation. Tube side fittings are available either
in PFA or PVDF. In order to help you select materials, we have included
the "Pressure Drop" and the "Maximum Operating
Limits" for your reference.
* Liquid flows through the unit determine the pressure drop
for a given tubing type.
Notes:
a. Shell Side Materials: PVC (P), CPVC (C)
Operating temperatures above 140oF for PVC and 200oF
for CPVC are not recommended.
b. Tubing Materials: PTFE (T), FEP (F), PFA (P), PVDF (K)
c. Fitting Materials: PTFE (T), PFA (P), PVDF (K)
d. Heat Transfer Area: Ranges from 1.0 to 12.0 sq.ft
e. Tubing Type (Code): 1, 2 or 3.
Tubing type corresponds to size
For example, a 4 sq.ft unit with CPVC shell, FEP type1 tubing, and PFA
tubeside fittings is described by Model CFP-641.
Key Benefits
- Ultimate in ultra-purity and chemical inertness
- Unidirectional shell and tube side flows allow for
complete purging of the unit - stagnant pockets are eliminated
during continuous or batch operation.
- Unit can be operated in true counterflow or in
parallel flow mode.
