Lower Capital Costs

With Heatric PCHEs being up to 85% smaller than traditional heat exchangers their footprint is significantly reduced, which is a crucial consideration in operating environments with limited space or high structural costs. This benefit also extends to ancillary equipment, such as pipework and housings, as the smaller heat exchanger size leads to reductions in overall system requirements.

Due to the relative low internal volume of Heatric PCHEs, coolant flows can be substantially reduced when compared to traditional units.

This brings major operational benefits to the installation, including:

• Reduced pumping requirements resulting in lower capital and operating costs
• Smaller diameter piping system requirements resulting in;
• Lower installation capital costs
• Reduced weight and space requirements
• Greater mechanical and routing flexibility for pipework
• Smaller coolant inventory reducing overall operating weight of the system, reducing structural support required at installation

The cost benefits of Heatric’s PCHEs extend beyond physical considerations. Heatric’s Services team offer support at all phases of the system life-cycle and can ensure that process conditions, operating parameters and system requirements are all optimised to provide peak performance. This leads to maximised up-time for the system and the process, and significant reductions in associated maintenance costs.
