Graphite shell and tube heat exchanger

Graphite Heat Exchanger – Solving Equipment Corrosion Problems

Graphite heat exchangers have replaced a large number of heat exchangers made of stainless steel or other precious metals due to their good thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, non-polluting nature, and other properties, thereby solving the corrosion problems of many equipment in the chemical industry and other sectors.

Graphite heat exchanger is a kind of heat exchange device made of impervious graphite as the base material. There are shell & tube type, block hole type, plate chamber type, spray type, insert type and jacket cooling type graphite heat exchangers. Among them, the most widely used are shell & tube type and block hole type graphite heat exchangers.

Shell and Tube Graphite Heat Exchangers

Our Impervite shell and tube heat exchangers are engineered for superior reliability and service life. Compared to other graphite heat exchangers, they offer exceptional performance and a low initial cost, resulting in an excellent lifetime return on investment. Their large cross-sectional flow area makes them ideal for low pressure and high-fouling applications.

Multi-Blox Graphite Heat Exchangers

Our Multi-Blox™ heat exchanger features some of the longest graphite-composite blocks in the industry. This design helps reduce the need for gaskets, eliminate potential leak paths, and minimize point loading issues. They are designed and built for non-stop service with operating pressures up to 150 PSIG.

Cubic Block Graphite Heat Exchangers

Our cubic block heat exchangers offer the greatest efficiency with the highest heat transfer capabilities in the smallest space. They are exceptionally durable and provide easy access to service holes for cleaning and maintenance. Their design makes them ideal for interchange service and high-fouling applications.
