The Unique Benefits of Glass-Lined Heat Exchangers

Glass-lined heat exchangers are essential for their excellent corrosion resistance and high efficiency in heat transfer. At Wuxi Repicea, we offer both internally and externally lined heat exchangers designed to meet the demands of various industrial applications.

Internally Glass-Lined Heat Tubes: Precision Engineering for Durability

Our internally glass-lined heat tubes are manufactured using cold enameling, in-furnace suspension firing, and a gradual heating process to ensure:

  1. Uniform glass lining thickness (0.8–1.3mm) for long-term durability;
  2. Superior vertical alignment of tubes, ensuring reliable performance under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions;
  3. Seamless steel tube base (3.5–5mm thickness), providing robust structural support, particularly in steam heating applications to withstand vibration effects.

Standard dimensions include DN32×2000, DN50×2000, and DN50×3000, with custom sizes available to suit specific industrial needs.

Externally Glass-Lined Heat Exchangers: Enhanced Heat Transfer

Externally glass-lined heat exchangers from Wuxi Repicea feature glass linings on the shell and the outer surfaces of the heat tubes. Paired with steel-reinforced PFA-molded tube plates, these exchangers offer:

  1. Threaded filler single-tube sealing, simplifying maintenance and replacement;
  2. Larger flow channels that are ideal for gaseous materials, ensuring effective saturation, heat transfer, and easy discharge;
  3. Dual-medium heat transfer capability, with media flowing through both the tubes and the external jacket;
  4. Enhanced resistance to pressure and vibrations, eliminating the risk of porcelain cracking.
