Multi-Fluid Exchangers
Combining multiple flows and functionalities such as this single 1.4MW, 66Bar gas/gas, gas/condensate gas/refrigerant unit replacing 3 conventional units.
Two-Phase Inlets
Provide the ability to create homogeneous mixing of multiple flows preventing potential issues with maldistribution found in traditional units.
This example shows the two-phase inlet approach taken by Heatric for Glycol injection into a gas stream for hydrate suppression.
Online Removal of Meltable Solids
Due to diffusion bonded exchangers having very discreet seperable fluid channels and with the ability to provide units with multi-sectioned cores and/or headers, Heatric can design units which can be maintained online without shutdown in situations where frozen glycol, wax or hydrates may have blocked the unit.
This example shows a gas/gas dewpointing PCHE exchanger where the header has been split into multiple sections which can then be de-rimed without shutdown.
Method:
- Cold flow to section 1 is shut off
- Hot flow continues through all sections of the unit
- The frozen glycol, waxes or hydrates then melt
- Pressure drop and flow through the closed section is restored
- Process repeated for all other sections
