The equipment primarily consists of a shell, heat transfer tube bundle, tube sheets, and baffles. Depending on process requirements, the heat transfer tubes can be connected to the tube sheets via welding, expansion, or expansion-welding. Additionally, baffles can be installed to enhance heat transfer in the shell side. The product range spans from pilot-scale to 10,000-metric-ton industrial-scale units, accommodating a variety of fluid heat exchange needs, and complies with GMP and pressure vessel standards.
High heat transfer efficiency
Simple and reliable design
High processing capacity and wide adaptability
High operational flexibility
The spiral plate heat exchanger is a classic, highly efficient heat exchange device that offers advantages such as a large heat transfer area, excellent heat transfer performance, simple structure, high processing capacity, wide operating flexibility, and broad adaptability. It is commonly used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, petroleum, power generation, dyeing, metallurgy, and food processing.
Efficient heating or cooling between the tube-side and shell-side fluids to meet process temperature requirements.
The baffles built into the shell force the shell-side fluid to flow across the tube bundle multiple times, increasing turbulence and improving the heat transfer coefficient on the outside of the tubes.
Pipes can be designed as single-pass or multi-pass structures to accommodate process conditions with varying flow rates, temperature differences, and pressure drops.
Implement temperature differential compensation measures (such as expansion joints or floating head structures) for high-temperature operating conditions to eliminate or reduce thermal stress and ensure the long-term, stable operation of the equipment.
Spiral plate heat exchangers are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for heating raw materials and excipients for large-volume parenteral solutions, cooling traditional Chinese medicine extracts, and maintaining constant temperatures in aseptic processing areas; in the petrochemical industry for heat exchange involving aromatic hydrocarbons and alkanes, heating of process water, and condensate recovery; in the food industry for fruit juice pasteurization and cooling, heat exchange for dairy product concentration, and edible oil refining; as well as in the power generation, dyeing, and metallurgy industries for cooling water circulation, temperature control of process fluids, and industrial waste heat recovery.

The shell withstands the fluid pressure in the shell side. It contains a tube bundle and baffles, with the heat exchange tubes secured at both ends by tube sheets, which separate the tube side from the shell side. The tube heads at both ends of the shell are used to distribute and collect the fluid in the tube side.
Installed inside the shell, it increases the fluid velocity in the shell side, forcing the fluid to scour the tube bundle laterally and enhance heat transfer.
It consists of multiple heat exchange tubes, with the tube-side fluid flowing through the tubes; the standard tube diameter is Φ25 mm, but other sizes such as Φ19, Φ32, Φ38, and Φ45 are also available.
