Clamp On
Requested application
The client, a leading vessel manufacturer, required a thermal conditioning solution (heating) for various vessels (chemical synthesis reactors). The solution needed to optimize heat transfer over the largest possible surface area, optimizing process parameters.


Solution
Use of clamp-on: pillow plate heat transfer elements that conform to the vessel surface, both on the cylindrical section and the bottom integrally, with provision for nozzle openings. The clamp-on pillow plate compared to traditional systems (e.g. half-pipe) has superior heat transfer coefficients and this leads to energy savings.
