Silicon Carbide Heat Exchanger, F4/PFA Lined
SiC Heat Exchanger
This F4/PFA lined silicon carbide heat exchanger is a shell & tube heat exchanger consisted of corrosion resistant tube plates and silicon carbide (SiC) tubes in conjunction with PTFE (F4) or PFA lining, with the ability to handle the challenges posed by highly corrosive chemicals in various applications of heating, cooling, and condensation.
Silicon carbide tube is known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, enabling it suitable for use in corrosive environments. In addition to its property of corrosion resistance, silicon carbide also features good mechanical strength, this makes the heat exchanger capable of withstanding extreme operating conditions.
F4 and PFA linings can provide unsurpassed resistance to corrosion for long-term reliability and guaranteed longevity, making the shell & tube heat exchanger an ideal choice for chemical and pharmaceutical industries to deal with highly corrosive substances.
