Reduce Heat Exchanger Maintenance Intervals with Watlow’s New HELIMAX™ Ultra-Efficient Electric Heat Exchanger

HELIMAX with Continuous Helical Flow Technology enables ultra-high heat transfer rates that lowers the skin and shell temperature rise above the process fluid and offers the ability to push the limit on high outlet temperature applications. It also minimizes fluid bypass assuring tighter sheath temperature control and provides smaller shell diameters. As a result, high pressures can often be handled with thinner shell walls or without resorting to expensive exotic materials.

“Watlow is excited to now offer the new HELIMAX heat exchanger to our customers,” said Dennis Long, director of strategic marketing. “HELIMAX’s Continuous Helical Flow Technology improves the velocity profile on the heating elements, allowing better heat transfer and flow rates improving overall system performance. This technology also reduces coking and fouling which keeps a system up and running. All of this in a smaller profile… the product is a win for any application requiring a heat exchanger.” HELIMAX is smaller and lighter weight compared to traditional heat exchangers offering significant benefits to space constraint applications such as offshore platforms or floating production storage and offloading vessels.
