Reduce Emissions

through Electrification

For oil and gas, petro-chemical and energy production engineers who struggle with meeting tough emissions standards, Continuous Helical Flow Technology™ can dramatically reduce carbon emissions while delivering a 2X to 5X improvement in heat transfer. This leap in electric heat exchanger technology provides a conversion path to electrification through smaller and lighter equipment that costs less to install and operate compared to traditional gas-fired systems.

Benefits of Continuous Helical Flow Technology

  • Ultra-high heat transfer enables 2x to 5x factor improvement (depending on application) with minimal fluid bypass.
  • Reduce C0₂ emissions by converting key industrial processes like process heating to electric rather than fuel fired.
  • Lower sheath and shell temperature rise compared to segmental, RODbaffle, Helixchanger® or traditional baffle designs.
  • Lower capital equipment costs possible from a reduction in physical size of the heat exchanger (in terms of weight and length, compared to traditional solutions).
  • Eliminate dead zones to reduce fouling rates and operating costs.

Unparalleled Performance Feature

For oil and gas, chemical and energy production engineers who struggle with maintaining their processing equipment at peak performance, electric heat exchangers using continuous helical flow technology eliminate hot spots and coking while delivering a 2 to 5X improvement in heat transfer.This leap in technology provides a conversion path to electrification by saving space, weight and equipment costs compared to traditional gas-fired systems.
