Heat exchanger for corrosive substance handling

Optimize your process of handling corrosive substances with a heat exchanger designed to ensure precise temperature control and efficient heat transfer, eliminating cross-contamination risks and maintaining product purity even under extreme conditions.

Transfers Heat, Condenses, and Evaporates Corrosive Substances

The QVF® SUPRA Coil Type Heat Exchanger from De Dietrich Process Systems is a gasket-free solution designed for efficient heat transfer and separation of corrosive and ultra-pure substances. Made from borosilicate glass 3.3, it provides unparalleled resistance to corrosion and contamination, making it ideal for the pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and biopharmaceutical industries. Operating seamlessly between temperatures of -80°C and +200°C and pressures from -1 to +4 bar g, its single-piece glass construction eliminates the risk of cross-contamination, enhancing process reliability and product integrity.

This equipment excels in applications such as condensation, evaporation, and tempering, commonly used for active pharmaceutical ingredients, high-purity solvents, specialty polymers, and herbal extracts. Available with heat exchange surfaces ranging from 0.03m² to 15m², it supports various process scales, from pilot to continuous operations.

The QVF SUPRA Coil Type Heat Exchanger integrates easily into existing production lines due to its transparent design, allowing for optimized process monitoring. Its smooth surfaces prevent deposits, maintaining consistent heat transfer rates and reducing maintenance. Suitable for manual and automated operations, it offers custom engineering support for specific process requirements, ensuring a precise fit for your unique production challenges.
