Indento Corrugated Tube Heat Exchangers
Jonam applies Corrugated tubes in its shell and tube heat exchangers. The corrugated profile on the inner and outer side of the tubes creates extra turbul ence. It disrupts the boundary layer near the tube wall where most of the resistance to the heat transfer takes place. The boundary layer near the tube wall helps the fouling to build up due to zero velocity at the tube walls. The extra turbulence created due to corrugation reduces the formation of fouling layers.
Jonam has heat exchangers for Industrial applications based on TEMA and ASME configurations. The heat exchangers find successful applicati on in heat recovery , condenser and re -boilers. The major advantage of the Augmented tube heat exchangers are
- Lower and reduced fouling
- Increased heat transfer due to increased turbul ence
- Lower heat transfer area is obtained for a given heat transfer duty.
- Reduction in the size / length of the heat exchanger. Lower floor space / foot print .
