Graphite Block Heat Exchangers

As a representative for SGL GROUP, Valutech has been providing graphite block heat exchangers for the chemical industry in Canada for over a decade. Our block heat exchangers are constructed with a synthetic resin-impregnated graphite which combines the universal corrosion resistance of graphite with the high efficiency of block heat exchangers.

Heat transfer occurs in solid ®DIABON graphite blocks which are assembled to form a column which provides the required heat exchanger area in a single unit. These blocks are arranged so that the product comes into contact only with the corrosion-resistant ®DIABON graphite material. This unique design makes the block heat exchanger the perfect solution for handling extremely corrosive mixtures.

The graphite block heat exchanger offers certain advantages:

• They are more flexible and compact
• Corrosive media can be used in both service and process sides
• Capacity can be increased by adding block elements
• Minimal downtime over their entire service life
• Cleaning and maintenance of block units are very simple

Because of they are so compact and adaptable, block heat exchangers are used in a variety of ways as:

• overhead condensers
• sump coolers
• pickling line heaters
• reactor coolers
• ventilation condensers
• circulation coolers for quenchers
• preheaters for evaporators

Our block heat exchangers are currently giving excellent performances at: phosphoric acid plants, battery acid plants and sulfuric acid dilution systems.
