WE6
Features
Heat exchangers of the WE6 range are used to cool process/barrier fluids in seal supply circuits. WE heat exchangers are available in two standard sizes and are API 682 conform. The process/barrier medium is directed through the tube and the cooling medium through the shell.
For simple draining or venting of the cooling water side, the heat exchanger can also be supplied with ventilation/drainage ball valves. In addition, the heat exchangers can also be combined with a temperature instrument in the supply line to the mechanical seal (optional in accordance with API 682).
Circulation in accordance with API 682 / ISO 21049: Plan 21, Plan 22, Plan 23, Plan 41
Advantages
- Operating limits up to 45 bar / 260 °C (tube side): suitable for a wide range of demanding operating conditions.
- Heat exchanger can be dismantled: for optimum and simple cleaning of the tubes
- Cooling water side and process side can be completely vented and drained
- 1.4404 stainless steel: high resistance to corrosive fluids
Standards and approvals
- PED 2014/68/EU (Design and production in accordance with EU Pressure EquipmentDirective)
- ASME VIII, Div. 1 (Design, calculation and production)
Recommended applications
- Chemical industry
- Petrochemical industry
- Oil and gas industry
- Refining technology
Notes
Cleaning:
Cooling water side: the area around the tubes can be cleaned mechanically after the housing is removed.
Process/barrier medium side: flush with a suitable solvent.
