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.
GEA VARITUBE® HS
- Tubular heat exchangers that feature high thermal performance at average volume flow rates of up to 60 m³/h.
- The inner tubes are installed in a U-shape (hairpin) configuration allowing for integrated compensation for thermal expansion.
Max. available capacities - Saturated steam 3 barG
GEA VARITUBE® E
- Optimized to process high volume flow rates of up to 220 m³/h at average thermal capacity. High performance versions for use with heat pump water are also available.
- They are available in tube lengths of 2,000 mm or 3,000 mm and feature a hygienic design, allowing for direct product processing.
- The inner tubes are executed with a corrugated finish to boost the thermal efficiency. The tube bundle can be removed for inspection and is equipped with ‘leak detection’ device.
Max. available capacities - Saturated steam 3 barG
