Traditional Challenges in Silicon Carbide Tubular Heat Exchangers
Conventional silicon carbide tubular heat exchangers often employ a dual-layer tube plate design. The first layer is a carbon steel tube plate, while the second layer is a pure PTFE tube plate. While this structure appears to seal the shell-side pressure effectively, it faces significant challenges:
- Deformation and Leakage: Under high-vacuum conditions on the tube side, the pure PTFE plate tends to deform and leak, posing significant risks during operation.
- Material Brittleness: Silicon carbide tubes are inherently brittle and prone to breakage under sudden stress or vibration.
- Complex Maintenance: Replacing broken tubes requires disassembling the entire heat exchanger, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
These drawbacks result in higher operational risks and maintenance costs for industrial applications.
The Advantages of Wuxi Repicea’s Silicon Carbide Heat Exchanger
At Wuxi Repicea, we have redefined silicon carbide tubular heat exchanger technology with our self-developed design, addressing the limitations of traditional models.
1. Advanced Sealing Design
Our heat exchangers feature steel-reinforced PFA-molded integral tube plates, which incorporate dual-seal structures. This unique design enables simultaneous sealing of both the shell-side and tube-side pressures within a single tube plate, eliminating the need for separate components.
2. Simplified Maintenance
Replacing silicon carbide tubes has never been easier. With our design, users can simply:
- Remove the sealing nuts at both ends,
- Pull out the damaged tube, and
- Insert a new one.
This process eliminates the need to disassemble the entire exchanger, significantly reducing labor and downtime.
3. Enhanced Durability
We have incorporated shock-absorbing buffer structures within the shell side to prevent tube vibration caused by high-pressure steam heating. This minimizes the risk of tube breakage due to stress, ensuring long-term reliability even in demanding applications.
4. Certified Quality
Our innovative design and internal structures are fully certified, offering peace of mind and unparalleled performance for industries that demand reliability.
