Graphite block heat exchanger
Graphite block heat exchangers are suitable for the heating, cooling, evaporation, condensation, and absorption of highly corrosive liquid chemicals. It is one of the most versatile types of impervious graphite heat exchangers. The process and service channels are formed by drilling rows of holes horizontally and vertically through graphite blocks. Heat is transferred by conduction through the impervious graphite left between the rows of holes that separate the media. Graphite block heat exchangers consist of a stack of blocks enclosed in a steel shell. Why Use Graphite in Heat Exchangers? Due to its thermal and physical properties, graphite is an excellent heat transfer medium. These are some of its advantages: Exceptional thermal conductivity Easily machined Capable of withstanding system stresses Superior corrosion resistance Low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) High operational safety Long service life Benefits Of Graphite Block Heat Excha...
