Glass Coil Type Heat Exchanger has the feature that the overall heat transfer co-efficient of borosilicate glass equipment compare favourably with many alternative process plant construction materials and this is because the smooth surfaces of the glass improve the film coefficient and reduces the tendency for fouling. The Exchanger can be availed in coil type and shell and tube type and shell and tube type heat exchangers are available with glass or mild steel shells in combination with glass tube and the shell, end bonnets can be supplied in other material of construction depending on the process condition and consists of a cylindrical shell which uses a glass tube bundle. The Exchanger has the feature of larger heat transfer area in single unit, low pressure drop; easy tube replacement and tube can be plugged in case of breakage. The Glass Coil Type Heat Exchanger is available in a wide range of nominal bores and is totally compatible with the other glass process plant and pipeline components described in the other chapters of this catalogue and has standard flat buttress end connection.
