When purchasing a jacketed heat exchanger, how to match medium compatibility with jacket material is a common question. The LHR-18 jacketed heat exchanger addresses this issue by providing adaptable options in structure and material configuration, making it suitable for heating and cooling of media such as water, oil, air, and neutral chemical solutions.
Water, oil, and air have significantly different requirements for jacket materials. The LHR-18 jacketed heat exchanger allows the selection of jacket materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel based on the medium type. In neutral chemical solution environments, the corrosion resistance of stainless steel jackets is relatively stable; for oil-based media, carbon steel jackets can be chosen to balance cost. Note that this model is not suitable for strong acids, strong bases, or flammable and explosive environments. If special media requirements exist, a separate selection is needed.
Confirming installation space and interface specifications is the basis for model selection. Purchasing personnel should verify on-site pipe diameter, flange standards, and allowable pressure drop range. At the same time, the upper limits of working temperature and pressure must be clarified to avoid operation beyond working conditions. For scenarios such as reactors, storage tanks, and pipeline heat tracing, it is also necessary to confirm whether the jacket length and insertion depth match the tank or pipe dimensions.
This model is commonly used in scenarios such as reactors, storage tanks, and pipeline heat tracing, performing heating and cooling functions. During installation, ensure that the jacket fully contacts the medium being heated or cooled, and reserve maintenance space. The electrical wiring part must be protected according to on-site regulations to avoid loose connections caused by vibration or thermal expansion and contraction. Regularly checking the scaling on the jacket surface helps maintain heat exchange efficiency.
