The use of heat exchangers (natural gas preheaters, natural gas heat exchangers) increases the efficiency of your systems. Preheating the gas makes your system pressure-stable and the gas therefore transportable.
Most gas systems require compensation for the so-called Joule-Thomson effect. With this effect, the gas temperature drops at a constant flow rate due to a reduction in pressure. As a result, the gas cools down - e.g. through the use of pressure reduction systems, fluctuations in outside temperature or the flow through long transport lines. If the gas is heated at selected system points, pressure stability or gas temperatures can be achieved that make a subsequent system component more efficient, e.g. gas turbines.
Our shell and tube heat exchangers for heating gases, saturated steam or water work reliably in gas systems. A
differential pressure gauge can be used to precisely monitor the pressure loss within the heat exchanger and the connected pipe sections.
We calculate our heat exchangers optimally for your process. An optimally adapted design conserves resources and makes your overall system more economical.
