Tantaline has launched a new cost- effective heat exchanger, developed exclusively for highly acidic and corrosive environments. The product is industry’s first ever welded plate and frame heat exchanger.
Its gasket-free layout and completely-welded tantalum surface alloyed plate and frame offer five to seven times of higher efficiencies when compared to the shell and tube heat exchangers.
Tantaline’s heat exchanger requires seven times lesser footprint and utilizes lesser costly materials. They feature high heat transfer capability and offer low cost solution in contrast to the shell and tube heat exchangers.
Dean Gambale, President of Tantaline, has stated that acids utilized in all the types of industrial operations become highly aggressive upon heating and the heat exchanger is a major system to heat acids. He mentioned that their innovative product offers a right combination of significant features and sophisticated engineering. He added that their heat exchangers have offered a new option for engineers and developers without negotiating on performance or cost.
The welded plate and frame heat exchangers of Tantaline are developed by increasing the temperature and reacting clean tantalum metal to generate a gaseous tantalum atmosphere. The vapor then develops an alloy bond on the surface of the heat exchanger. After completing the process, the heat exchanger will possess similar chemical attributes and corrosion resilience as pure tantalum heat exchangers, providing greater performance than HASTELLOY B, C, and D alloy grades, titanium, zirconium and solid tantalum heat exchangers. Tantaline’s heat exchangers are ideal for applications requiring nickel alloys, titanium, zirconium or solid tantalum heat exchangers.
