Brief Introduction of Platecoil Gas Cooler

Platecoil gas cooler is a special gas heat exchanger used for for handling gas heat transfer. Its core heat exchange element is effective compact Platecoil heat exchange. Several Platecoils are arranged in parallel and spaced apart to form a Platecoil heat exchange bank, several Platecoil heat exchange banks and gas inlets and outlets together form a Platecoil gas cooler.The flexible design allows Platecoil gas coolers to be used in a wide range of applications for cooling, condensing or heating gases in different conditions and applications. 

Functions and Classifications

Depending on the specific gas heat transfer needs, Platecoil gas coolers are usually divided into the following categories:

* gas cooler：used to cool high temperature gases to the desired target temperature, often using cooling water as the refrigerant.

* gas condenser：used to cool the gas to below the dew point, prompting the vapour component of the gas to condense into liquid form, and also mostly uses cooling water as the refrigerant.

* gas heater：used to heat gases to the required process temperature, usually using steam or hot water as the heat medium.

Heat transfer principle and design features

The working principle of Platecoil gas cooler is to cool, condense or heat the gas by indirect heat exchange between the cold or hot medium flowing in the channel inside the heat exchanger plate and the gas outside the plate. The equipment is customized off-standard and it can operate efficiently under complex working conditions, with the following distinctive features:

* High-efficiency heat transfer：special structural design and optimized flow paths of Platecoil ensure fast and uniform heat transfer between the gas and the refrigerant or heat medium.

* Lower resistance：Platecoil has wide flow paths between them and a very low drag drop as the gas flows through, making it very friendly for some technical modification projects when there is not enough pressure head in the tail gas.

* Easy cleaning：Platecoil has a relatively flat surface and wide runners for easy cleaning.

* Compact design：Compared with the tube gas cooler, within the same volume, the plate structure can distribute 2-3 times the heat exchange area, occupies little space and is suitable for the installation environment with limited space conditions.

* Various arrangement forms: according to the process requirements, the equipment can be designed as horizontal, vertical or other special structures to adapt to different installation conditions and operational requirements.

* High pressure resistance: The internal pressure of the Platecoil can withstand up to 6MPa and the external pressure of 30MPa.

Application

Platecoil gas coolers are widely used in the following industries and processes：

* Chemical Industry：Cooling of high-temperature reaction off-gases or condensation of volatile organic compounds.

* Metallurgical Industry：Cooling of high-temperature furnace gases or industrial flue gases.

* Energy Industry：Cooling or heating of gas or other energy gases.

*Pharmaceutical Industry：Control of process gas temperature to meet production needs

Customized Design

Due to the different gas composition, temperature and pressure conditions, as well as the different field installation conditions, each Platecoil gas cooler is non-standard customized. The design team will select the best heat exchange scheme according to the detailed process parameters provided by the customer to ensure that the performance of the equipment can perfectly match the requirements.
