Basic requirements for structural design of low temperature heat exchanger

 Carbon steel and low-alloy steel heat exchangers (design temperature lower than -20℃), austenitic stainless steel heat exchangers (design temperature lower than -196℃) are low temperature heat exchangers, and the structural design should follow the following in principle.


Material selection of low temperature heat exchanger:
1. Use temperature of plastic materials
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) -15℃~+80℃, polypropylene (PP) -30℃~+140℃, polyurethane (PU) -70℃~+80℃, polyethylene (PE)-100℃~+100 ℃. Plastics tend to be brittle in low temperature environments.

2. Operating temperature of carbon steel and low alloy steel
Q345R steel plate can be used at -60℃~-40℃ under low temperature and low stress conditions, and 16MnDR steel plate for low temperature can be used at -80℃~-70℃ under low temperature and low stress conditions. Q235B steel plate cannot be used in low temperature heat exchangers.

low temperature heating

3. Operating temperature of high alloy steel (stainless steel)
1. The lower limit of the operating temperature of ferritic stainless steel is 0℃. 2. The lower limit of the operating temperature of austenitic-ferritic stainless steel is -20℃. 3. The lower limit of the operating temperature of austenitic stainless steel is -253℃


Structural design should fully consider the factors:
1. The structure should be as simple as possible to reduce constraints.
2. Avoid excessive temperature gradient.
3. Sudden changes in the shape of the structure should be avoided as much as possible to reduce local stress.
4. The connecting part of the connecting pipe and the shell should be smooth, and the inner wall of the connecting pipe end should be rounded.
5. The support or leg of the container shall not be welded to the shell, and a backing plate shall be provided

How is the Refrigeration Industry Leading the Green Development with R404A

  As global environmental concerns continue to rise, the refrigeration industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported overseas are now increasingly adopting the eco-friendly refrigerant R404A, leading the way in the industry's green development. Here's a deeper look into this trend. Why Is R404A Becoming the Preferred Refrigerant for  Water-Cooled Low-Temperature Units ? R404A is a blend of refrigerants that stands out due to its environmentally friendly properties. It is free from Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and has a relatively low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an ideal substitute for traditional refrigerants. This balance between high-performance cooling and environmental friendliness has made R404A especially popular in regions with strict environmental regulations, such as Europe and North America. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported to these areas are now commonly equipped with R404A to meet local ...

Where are water-cooled chillers used？ What is a chiller used for?

  Water-cooled chiller   is a cooling water device that can provide constant temperature, constant current and constant pressure. A chiller is a machine that achieves refrigeration through vapor compression or absorption cycles. These liquids can flow through heat exchangers to cool the air or equipment. The industrial chiller can always output ice water with a lower temperature than the ambient temperature. It can be used wherever cooling is required, either direct cooling or indirect heat exchange. The main components of a water-cooled chiller are compressor, condenser, evaporator, water pump, and water tank. Chillers have a wide range of applications. The chiller can be used to cool the injection mold, improve the quality of plastic products, cool the vacuum coating, control the temperature of the vacuum coating machine, cool the food industry, fast cooling processing, chemical industry, effectively control the temperature of chemicals, cooling buildings, concrete fast Cool...
