C
Series heat exchangers heat and cool low pressure gas streams.
The modular C Series design allows a standard design to easily be
customized to give a custom
fit.
Common Applications
Aftercooling, dehumidifying and heating rotary-lobe and multistage
centrifugal blowers used in pneumatic conveying, air separation and printing
systems.
Pressure Housing
Heat exchanger cores are removable through both the front and back sides of the housing
without disassembly of the gas line. Pressure tests from a full vacuum to 50
PSIG are available.
Heat exchanger housings can be built to contain several cores with separate or shared
access panels. Mist eliminators can also be built into a housing
to prevent condensed moisture from carrying downstream. The gas
connection size and type can easily be changed to match system requirements.
Fin-Tube Core
The fins are rectangular plates with a matrix of die-extruded tube
collars. A sheet metal casing provides rigidity to the fin-tube
assembly prior to tube expansion. After assembly, the tubes are
expanded into the fin collars. This allows for a gap-free connection
maximizing heat exchanger performance and structural integrity.
Installation Considerations
The fluid circuit consists of several parallel tube circuits, which are
joined at inlet and outlet headers. The circuits are designed to work
"down hill" to prevent trapping. To assure complete drainage, optional
intermediate drain headers are available. Attached at the 180 deg.
return bends, they provide positive water drainage and protection from
freeze-up.
To prevent metal work-hardening and failure, it is important to isolate
the exchanger from vibration. Pulsating flow produced by rotary lobe
blowers must be dampened by a chambered silencer.
Performance
Xchanger engineers use a computer model to analyze heat exchanger
performance. A specifically designed program calculates housing
material thickness based on the ASME code. As with all Xchanger
equipment, the design performance is guaranteed.
