Watlow HELIMAX™ Ultra-Efficient Electric Heat Exchanger

Features

• Continuous Helical Flow Technology™

  • Industry-leading heat transfer (two to five times factor
  improvement compared to legacy technologies)
  • Enables lower skin and shell temperature rise above the process
  fluid compared to segmental baffles
  • Offers the ability to push the limit on high outlet temperature
  applications (above 600°C operating temperatures)
  • Minimizes fluid bypass
  • Assures tighter sheath temperature control
  • Provides smaller shell diameter
  • Leads to higher pressures without going to exotic vessel designs
  • Offers ability for retrofit with field measurements of existing
  shell

• Reduces coking and fouling

  • Eliminates dead zones assuring tighter sheath and shell
  temperature control
  • Creates lower skin temperatures
  • Improves the velocity profile on the elements

• Overall weight and size reduction

  • Able to greatly reduce the overall size of the heat exchanger or
  quantity of system units required
  • Enables significant benefit to space constraint applications in
  offshore platforms and floating production storage and offloading
  vessels
  • Improves ability to reduce superstructure size and weight

Summary

Thermal Devices is an authorized Watlow distributor and proudly offers Watlow’s full line of HELIMAX™ Ultra-Efficient Electric Heat Exchangers. The HELIMAX™ is a revolutionary heat exchanger designed to tackle the issue of high fouling rates. With Continuous Helical Flow Technology™, it offers ultra-high heat transfer rates, surpassing the performance of traditional heat exchangers. The HELIMAX eliminates the common problem of coking, caused by fluctuations in sheath temperature and localized flow rate, which can lead to system failures and costly downtime. Unlike other heat exchanger designs that have known dead zones where hot spots can occur, such as segmental baffles, the HELIMAX provides a better, more efficient solution in a compact footprint. As a result, maintenance intervals are reduced, leading to increased productivity and longer heater life.
