12-metre monotube heat exchangers


Heat transfer solutions provider Teralba Industries has recently expanded its range of Dimpleflo Monotube Heat Exchangers, to include a12-metre long configuration.

The new line-up includes a 12-metre Dimpleflo Monotube complete Colourbond-clad insulation, at one of Australia's largest wineries, located in Griffith NSW. To provide the most cost-effective solution with restricted footprint size, these units were produced with 12m long, unique Dimpled stainless steel tubing, says Teralba.

The new 12-metre long Dimpleflo reduces the number of welds, stainless steel fittings and 180°elbows, by over 40 per cent, when compared to traditional 6-metre heat exchangers, according to the company. This provides large processors across a broad range of industries, with significant cost savings, says Teralba.

A further feature is the reduction in pressure loss through the Dimpleflo due to the reduced number of bends. This in turn reduces initial capital costs, due to smaller product and service fluid pumps being required, as well as reduction in power consumption.

Other features of the new 12 metre Dimpleflo Heat Exchangers include:
- Designed and made in Australia;
- Flexibility in heat transfer design to meet specific dimensional or functional requirements;
- Hygienic self-draining design that is easy to clean;
- Dimple profile to promote a highly turbulent flow and maximise heat transfer coefficients;
- Can be constructed using 2205 duplex alloys and titanium for increased corrosion resistance.
