Frequently asked question about Heat Exchangers
Yes, selecting the correct unit depends on your specific fluid properties, pressure requirements, and temperature goals. Attomo provides custom-engineered Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers and Plate Heat Exchangers designed for maximum thermal efficiency. Our experts use advanced simulation software to size systems that balance initial investment with long-term operational savings and durability.
Regular maintenance and selecting the appropriate design, such as a Scraped Surface or Forced Circulation model, are the best ways to minimize fouling. Attomo’s heat exchangers are engineered for high-velocity flow and “self-cleaning” action to reduce scaling. This design ensures peak performance in the chemical and food industries while extending intervals between manual cleaning.
Absolutely. We specialize in manufacturing heat exchangers using corrosion-resistant materials like Stainless Steel and specialized alloys to handle aggressive media. For heat-sensitive liquids, our Falling Film and Rising Film technologies ensure gentle thermal processing. These systems preserve product integrity by operating under vacuum conditions to maintain low evaporation temperatures and prevent degradation.
A Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger is the superior choice for high-pressure and high-temperature environments where robust construction is critical. While plate versions offer compactness, the shell and tube design handles “process abuse” better and is easier to repair in heavy-duty industrial settings. Attomo builds these units to rigorous standards to ensure safety and reliability.
Heat exchangers improve efficiency by facilitating Heat Recovery from waste streams to pre-heat incoming fluids, significantly reducing steam and fuel consumption. Attomo’s systems, including Multi-effect Evaporators and Condensate Flashing units, are designed to capture every possible BTU. This optimized thermal economy directly lowers carbon footprints and slashes overall utility costs for modern manufacturing plants.
