Heat exchanger with spiral tube CWHE-X (K) series

gas/gasliquid/liquidnickel

A coil-wound heat exchanger (CWHE) consists of one or more spirally wound tubes (coils) bundled together inside a shell. One fluid flows through the tubes (coiled around a central core), while another flows over the tubes in the shell. Heat is transferred between the fluids through the tube walls. The spiral design increases turbulence, enhancing heat transfer efficiency. - Compact Design – The coiled tube arrangement maximizes heat transfer surface area in a relatively small volume. - High Efficiency – The spiral winding enhances turbulence, improving heat transfer coefficients. - High-Pressure & Cryogenic Capability – Commonly used in LNG and industrial gas processing due to their ability to handle extreme temperatures and pressures. - Multi-Stream Operation – Can accommodate multiple fluid streams (e.g., natural gas, mixed refrigerants) in a single unit. - Robust Construction – Typically made from materials like stainless steel, aluminum, or nickel alloys for durability.
