Industrial plants need to cool and heat fluids by way of heat exchangers.  Traditional heat exchangers do not offer enough energy savings that the plants need these days.  Komax saw the need for a solution that would not only increase savings but be more efficient as well.  Here is a look at Heat Exchangers and how the Komax Klean-Wall Heat Exchanger is revolutionizing industries.

Purpose of Heat Exchangers in Plants

A heat exchanger is a piece of equipment that allows heat from a liquid of gas to pass to another fluid without mixing the two fluids together.  A heat exchanger can work in cooling or heating applications.

Industries and Applications of a Heat Exchanger

There are many industries that rely on heat exchangers in their processes applications.

• Biofuel
• Oil and Chemical
• Municipal Wastewater
• Petroleum
• Steam Power Plants

The applications that heat exchangers can be used in are:

• Waste water heat exchanger
• Sludge to water heat exchanger
• Sludge to sludge heat exchanger

The Komax Klean-Wall Heat Exchanger

The Komax Klean-Wall Heat Exchanger is an advanced inline mixing system backed by cutting edge technology to produce maximum steam heat efficiency.

In addition to the efficiency, the Klean-Wall Heat Exchanger offers energy savings that preserve the environment.  Here is a look at what makes the Klean-Wall Exchanger different from the average heat exchanger.

More Effective and Efficient Than Traditional Heat Exchangers

The Komax heat exchanger has hi-pass mixing elements that create turbulence at the walls and diminish boundary layers.  Therefore, ensuring that the system maintains consistent operating efficiency for an extended time.

Heat Exchangers often get clogged due to debris, and it causes plugging.  The Komax system was designed to pass debris up to 50% of the diameter of the pipe so that it can resist clogging and eliminating wall buildup.  The high turbulence at the walls eliminates the continuous build up.

Maintenance and cleaning slow down production so these are two areas that Komax took into account and thus made accommodations to fix these problems.  The Hi-Pass design does not require cleaning however, it has the option for an easy preemptive cleaning.

The Klean-Wall Heat Exchanger helps increase bacteriological activity and improved anaerobic digestion because of its sludge and shearing mixing.

Leading the Way

Komax is a leader in the technology of heat exchangers, steam heaters, static mixers, and desuperheaters.  The Klean-Wall Heat Exchanger is one solution that Komax has created to help lead the way for industries to maintain efficiency and energy savings.
