Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
Pertanyaan umum tentang THERMAPLATE dari 3G Electric.
What fluids can be used with THERMAPLATE immersion heat exchangers?
THERMAPLATE T5 series immersion heat exchangers are designed for use with water, oil, and steam as the internal process fluid. The external bath fluid can be water, oil, or other compatible liquids. The all-welded stainless steel construction provides resistance to a range of chemicals, but compatibility should be verified against the specific fluid composition, temperature, and concentration. For aggressive fluids such as strong acids or caustics, consult the manufacturer's chemical resistance data. The units are not recommended for fluids with suspended solids that could cause fouling or erosion.
How do I select the correct THERMAPLATE model for my tank?
Selection depends on the required heat transfer rate, available tank depth, and fluid properties. The model number indicates plate count and overall length—for example, T5-24/36 has 24 plates and a 36-inch length. Choose a length that fits within your tank's submersion depth, leaving clearance for fluid circulation. The plate count affects surface area and heat transfer capacity. Use the rated BtuH values (160 for water, 50 for oil, 300 for steam) as a starting point, but actual performance varies with temperature difference, flow rate, and fluid viscosity. Datasheets from 3G Electric include performance curves for common conditions.
What are the pressure and temperature limits for THERMAPLATE T5 heat exchangers?
The T5 series immersion heat exchangers are rated for maximum operating pressures up to 150 psi and maximum temperatures up to 400°F. These limits apply to the internal process fluid. The external bath temperature should not exceed the material limits of the stainless steel construction. Derating may be required for combined high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, or when using fluids with low thermal conductivity. Always refer to the specific model's datasheet for exact ratings, as plate count and length can affect structural limits.
Can THERMAPLATE immersion heat exchangers be used in corrosive environments?
Yes, the all-welded stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance in many industrial environments. The absence of gaskets eliminates a common failure point in corrosive service. However, the specific grade of stainless steel used in the T5 series should be confirmed with the datasheet. For highly corrosive baths, such as those containing chlorides or strong acids, additional material selection or protective coatings may be necessary. 3G Electric can provide material certifications upon request.
How do I install a THERMAPLATE immersion heat exchanger in a tank?
Installation typically involves suspending the heat exchanger vertically or horizontally in the tank using brackets or a support frame. The unit should be fully submerged in the bath fluid to maximize heat transfer. Ensure adequate clearance around the plates for fluid circulation. The process fluid connections are located at the top of the unit and should be connected to the supply and return lines using appropriate fittings. No special tools are required, but the unit must be handled carefully to avoid damaging the welded plates. 3G Electric does not supply mounting hardware; engineers should design supports based on the unit's weight and tank geometry.
