HRS Heat Exchangers designs and manufactures scraped surface heat exchangers for applications where either one or both of the following problems require special solutions: fouling causes heat transfer rates to drop and viscous fluids having very low heat transfer rates.
VISCOUS FLUIDS
In general, the more viscous the fluid, the lower the heat transfer is. This means that very viscous fluids require a very large heat transfer area. Scraped surface heat exchangers vigorously mix the fluid, which helps to move the fluid to and from the heat exchange surface. This increases heat transfer rates, so the total area required for heat exchange is reduced.
HRS SOLUTIONS
For difficult heat transfer applications, with high viscosities and where fouling can become a problem, the preferred option is a scraped surface heat exchanger. Scraped surface heat exchangers keep heat transfer high and the heat transfer surface is constantly cleaned.
HRS offers two technologies for scraped surface heat transfer with patented solutions designed for specific needs: Unicus Series which reciprocates and R Series which rotates.
