HEAT EXCHANGER OF SILICON CARIBDE
With EKasic® plate heat exchangers, ESK offers compact and highly effective silicon carbide ceramic . Thanks to the materials’ special corrosion resistance and the innovative design, highly corrosive media can be used in both circuits.
The unit is ideal for use as a preheater (recuperator) and as a steam heater. The corrosion-resistant model is equally suitable for cooling concentrated acids and hot alkalis.
To round off the program, special designs are available as plate condensers for liquefying critical vapors. Flange can be up to DN 150 in size. The exchange surface is individually adapted to needs. The range also includes small sizes for lab or pilot operation.
EKasic® plate heat exchangers are preferably used in highly concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and hot caustic soda (NaOH). Thanks to their hardness, ceramics also allow particle-containing suspensions to be used. Besides improved product quality, operators also gain improved maintenance cycles – and therefore significantly reduced maintenance overheads or lifecycle costs.
For greater safety, the units can also be supplied with a fully welded plate pack of EKasic® SiC ceramics.
CAUSTIC SODA & SULFURIC ACID
Plate heat exchangers of EKasic® silicon carbide withstand almost all acid and alkali mixtures, even at high process temperatures
CONDENSATION & EVAPORATION
EKasic® plate condensers are ideal for condensing corrosive vapors from carrier gases.
