Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger

VISCOUS FLUIDS

In general, the more viscous the fluid, the lower the heat transfer is. This means that very viscous fluids require a very large heat transfer area. Scraped surface heat exchangers vigorously mix the fluid, which helps to move the fluid to and from the heat exchange surface. This increases heat transfer rates, so the total area required for heat exchange is reduced.

HRS SOLUTIONS

For difficult heat transfer applications, with high viscosities and where fouling can become a problem, the preferred option is a scraped surface heat exchanger. Scraped surface heat exchangers keep heat transfer high and the heat transfer surface is constantly cleaned.

HRS offers two technologies for scraped surface heat transfer: the patented HRS Unicus Series which reciprocates and R Series which rotates, each designed for specific needs.
