Polytetrafluoroethylene PVDF PTFE Heat Exchanger With Anti-Corrosion Properties

We also deliver fluoroplastic heat exchangers.

These heat exchangers are made of fluoroplastics such as PTFE, FEP an PFA. Fluoroplastics are fully resistant against corrosive liquids and have very good non-stick properties.

This means there is no building up of pollution and it reduces fouling and scaling. Fluoroplastics are pure and contain no softeners or plasticisers and are therefore very suitable for handling ultra-high-pure (UHP) applications in the semi-conductor industry.

All types of fluoroplastic heat exchanger units feature a proven unique honeycomb structure.

The tubes are integrated in the pipe sheet which provides a lightweight compact bundle design.

This ensures a leak free flow of the process liquids.

Teflon heat exchangers are almost maintenance free and have a very long lifetime.

Advantages

The advantages of our heat exchanger products over alternative designs include:

Low operating cost - The operating cost includes maintenance such as inspection, cleaning, downtime, and repair. This is primarily due to the relatively simple design that involves no plastic welding joints

No weld joints - Unlike metals that are subject to more rapid degradation under aggressive pickle bath conditions, Fluorotherm’s heat exchangers withstand aggressiveness

Off the shelf repair kits - In case of an unlikely event of accidental tube damage, these kits enable a quick repair of the tubing

No tube bundling - The strong tubing coils are optimally spaced so acid flow and therefore heat transfer is maintained without fouling.

Constant operating efficiency - Fluoropolymers such as PTFE, FEP or PFA, are inherently “non-stick”, so fouling by scale deposition is minimized, assuring a constant operating efficiency that does not decrease over time. No other material, except natural diamond, inhibits sticking of the pickle bath particulates more than fluoropolymers
