Suited to utility processes
GEA VARITUBE® Tubular Heat Exchangers for energy & utilities
Multitube with indirect heat exchange, suitable mainly for hot water generation and heating of CIP media with steam or hot water.
Thermal treatment for non-aseptic product applications
Beneficial for utility applications with the use of steam, compared to standard plate heat exchangers.
Tubular heat exchangers are much more robust and are not affected by wear and tear making them ideal for CIP or water heaters. The multitube-in-tube design makes them highly effective, ensuring efficient and reliable performance.
