Scope of application

Silicon Carbide (SiC) Heat Exchanger is a wall-type heat transfer equipment, where heat is transferred between hot and cold fluids through the silicon carbide wall while preventing direct mixing of the two media.
The Shell and Tube Silicon Carbide Heat Exchanger uses silicon carbide tube bundles as the heat transfer core. One fluid flows inside the tubes, while the other flows through the shell side around the tube bundles. Heat is transferred through the tube walls, and baffles are installed to enhance heat transfer efficiency. It is suitable for high-pressure, large-flow, and highly corrosive applications involving particle-containing media.
The Block-Type Silicon Carbide Heat Exchanger consists of stacked cylindrical silicon carbide blocks with two independent sets of vertically crossed channels inside each block. The two fluids flow separately through different channels and exchange heat through the SiC solid walls. With high structural strength, excellent thermal shock resistance, and superior corrosion resistance, it is widely used in high-temperature and highly corrosive processes such as condensation and absorption.
The Silicon Carbide Tube Heat Exchanger is mainly used for heating, cooling, condensation, and evaporation processes involving corrosive media in chemical industries. According to different process requirements and material characteristics, we provide customized design solutions, including single tube sheet / double tube sheet structures and single sealing / double sealing designs, to ensure reliable operation and long service life under various harsh operating conditions.
