Sanitary Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchangers in Pharmaceuticals

Sanitary tube-in-tube heat exchangers consist of two tubes, an inner and an outer coiled together. This unique, compact design prevents thermal fatigue, increases efficiency and reduces the overall size. It is ideal for high temperature, high pressure and low flow applications. These sanitary models are designed to meet the high quality requirements and hygienic standards of the pharmaceutical industry. All product contact surfaces have a maximum surface finish of 20in (0.5m) Ra, and can be improved to 15in (0.5m) Ra or better with optional electropolishing. Our unique design ensures there is no risk of cross-contamination between the product and working fluids.

Performance Features:

• Heat transfer rates to 100,000 BTU/hr (29 kW) 
• Liquid flows to 10 GPM (38 LPM)
• Pressures up to 4,500 psi (310 bar)

Sanitary Features:

• Available with or without electropolish
• No risk of cross-contamination between fluids
• Sanitary fittings ASME BPE
• Material & process certifications included
• Fully drainable on product side
• Clean-in-place (CIP)
• No dead spots or crevices
• ASME BPE Compliant

Design Features:

• 316L SS, Hastelloy®, Inconel®, Titanium and other alloys
• NPT, tube stubs, or custom fittings
• Thick walled seamless tube
• Integrated threaded holes for mounting

• All welded construction
• Maintenance free

                                   POINT-OF-USE (POU) SAMPLING SYSTEM

Exergy Point-Of-Use systems dispense instant, temperature controlled WFI or PW, and are designed to meet the high quality requirements and hygienic standards of the pharmaceutical industry. When not in use, a continuous flow of hot water (from the main loop) maintains sanitization. Exergy offers standard models using our compact, high performance heat exchangers for the most demanding conditions. 

Benefits:

• Instant cold or hot WFI or PW availability at POU
• Continuous flow of hot water keeps it sanitized at all times
• Automated or manual operation
• PLC with touch screen HMI with many operating modes
• Fully drainable on product side, with no dead legs
• Easy to install, operate and maintain
• CIP and SIP capable

Design Features:

• Enclosed locking cabinet
• Sanitary double tube sheet heat exchanger eliminates risk of cross contamination between product and working fluid
• All product contact surfaces are passivated, less than 20 Ra and electropolish available
• 316L stainless steel construction
• Full quality documentation provided

Exergy sanitary shell & tube heat exchangers are designed to meet the high quality requirements standards of the pharmaceutical industry. All product contact surfaces have a maximum surface finish of 20in (0.5m) Ra, and can be improved to 15in (0.4m) Ra  Available with single tubesheet or double tubesheet to eliminate risk of cross-contamination between the product and working fluids.
