Tubular Heater

Tubular Heater Function and Working Method

The Tubular Heater operates by utilizing steam to heat crude glycerin. The crude glycerin flows through a series of tubes, while steam circulates in the shell side of the heater. The heat from the steam is transferred through the tube walls to the crude glycerin, raising its temperature to the desired level. This indirect heating method ensures efficient and controlled temperature adjustment of the crude glycerin.

Tubular Heater Material and Construction

Constructed from 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel, the Tubular Heater combines excellent corrosion resistance with high - temperature strength. This material choice ensures that the heater can withstand the rigorous conditions of continuous operation, including exposure to high - temperature steam and liquid glycerin. The stainless steel construction also prevents contamination of the crude glycerin, maintaining its purity and quality throughout the heating process.
