SM Heat Exchanger

What is SM Heat Exchangers?

Samhwa specializes in building SM (Static Mixing) Heat Exchangers which incorporate tubes of static mixing elements are especially suited for heating and cooling highly viscous fluids.

The mixing elements of SM Heat Exchanger continuously create a new Interface between the product and tube wall, thereby producing a uniform heat history in the product. This arrangement produces a heat transfer rate that is three to seven times that of conventional heat exchangers. These heat exchangers are very compact, producing a short residence time.

Usages

Polymer Cooler & Heater
Devolatilization Preheater & Feed Heater
Maintaining constant hot oil temperature in recirculation loops
Cooling hot melt adhesive products immediately before packaging
Heating viscous food product such as taffy, glucose products, corn starch
Healing proprietary sealants in production of self-sealing automobile tires
Cooling precursors used in carbon fiber production
Cooling polystyrene foam in extrusion processes

Standard Specification
SM Heat exchangers are custom designed for each application.

Material : Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Hastelloy, Inconel, etc.
Pressure : Exceeding 350 bar (5,705 psi)
Viscosities : Exceeding 20,000 Pas (20,000,000 cp)

Benefits / Advantages

Increased heat transfer coefficients three to seven times that of traditional open tube designs
Low pressure drop against high viscosity materials
Short and uniform residence time
Smooth shape and edge sealing of mixer elements allows no dead spaces for product
Can be used for materials with low to high viscosities
No moving parts, therefore no maintenance
Can process highly corrosive materials upon various options of materials to be chosen
Uniform temperature – no hot spots
