Not all heat exchangers are created equal. Helical coil units offer advantages that too often get overlooked, but they may be ideal for your application. Helically Coiled Heat Exchangers Offer Advantages BY JAMES R. LINES GRAHAM MANUFACTURING CO. INC. rocess heat transfer with conventional shell and tube heat Pexchangers is familiar to many engineers in many industries. Their use and performance is well-documented. Helically coiled heat exchangers, although they have been around for many years, are not as well known. Helically coiled exchangers offer certain advantages. Compact size provides a distinct benefit. Higher film coefficients—the rate at which heat is transferred through a wall from one fluid to anoth- er—and more effective use of available pressure drop result in efficient and less-expensive designs. True counter-current flow fully utilizes available LMTD (logarithmic mean temperature dif- ference). Helical geometry permits handling of high temperatures and extreme temperature differentials without high induced stresses or costly expansion joints. High-pressure capability and the ability to fully clean the service-fluid flow area add to the exchanger’s advantages. Although various configurations are available, the basic and most common design consists of a series of stacked helically coiled tubes. The tube ends are connected to manifolds, which act as fluid entry and exit locations. The tube bundle is constructed of a number of tubes stacked atop each other, and the entire bundle is Bundle for a water vaporizer in a supercritical water-extraction placed inside a casing, or shell (Fig. 1.) process.
