Heating of polymer solution (1phase and 2 phase)
SMXL® multitube mixer-heat exchanger
SMXL® multitube mixer-heat exchanger
Polymer solutions are in most cases very heat sensitive to excessive heating. Accordingly, heating of such a product should be carried out within a short time and with a narrow residence time distribution in order to get a good quality of the product. The heat exchanger SMXL® monotube and SMXL® multitube are best suited to fulfil this specification.

Sulzer India is also able to design heat exchangers not only with 1 phase but also with 2 phases in cases where evaporation occurs already in the heat exchanger during heating-up prior devolatilisation vessel.

Due to good radial mixing the temperature is equal across the tube diameter. The difference between the temperature of the wall and the product is considerably higher due to good mixing, with the result of a much better heat transfer compared to an empty pipe.

Typical applications:

  • Cooling of Silcone oil and Silicone rubber prior filling
  • Cooling of Hot Melt, adhesive solutions and thermoplastic melts
  • Cooling of fiber prior spinning installation
  • Adjusting of the viscosity prior a downstream process step

Customer advantages:

  • Efficient heat transfer task backed by process guarantee
  • · Special tailored design to match customer specification
  • Low shear rate
  • Low pressure drop if required
  • Quick change from one product grade to another
  • Lower energy consumption compared to dynamic heat exchangers
  • Much lower investment cost compared to traditional dynamic heat exchangers
