Single Fluid Heat Transfer System

Manufacturing Process such as API, involve batch reaction, separation, filtration, distillation and drying; batch reaction involves heating and cooling stages ranging from -40ᵒC to 150ᵒC. Conventionally, this is done with multiple utilities such as chilled brine, chilled water, cooling water, hot water, low pressure steam, high pressure steam etc.… Contrary to the traditional use of multiple utilities, single fluid heat transfer systems are advantageous. These system can be designed for specific applications. Being a critical parameter, accurate temperature control is crucial for any process. While heating to temperature above 150ᵒC and cooling after the reaction is critical – the use of cooling water will lead to formation of steam in the jacket – over pressurization besides thermal shock. Due to these factors, single fluid heat transfer systems have gained importance in pharmaceutical and chemical industries in developed countries. Single Fluid Heat Systems are available in construction with PHE, Shell & Tube Type and Electrical, both in flameproof and non-flameproof.
