The CALGAVIN-produced "hiTRAN" is a heat transfer enhancement element designed to improve the performance of heat exchangers, particularly intended for use in tubular heat exchangers. By inserting hiTRAN into the tube, turbulence is generated within the tube, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency. The benefits obtained from the hiTRAN heat transfer enhancement element are as follows: ✓ Improvement and enhancement of heat exchanger capacity ✓ Increase in tube-side heat transfer coefficient (up to 16 times) ✓ Reduction in heat exchanger surface area and weight ✓ Reduction in maintenance costs due to decreased fouling ✓ Energy savings due to reduced energy requirements ✓ Lower maintenance and installation costs As fouling inside the tube increases, the performance of the heat exchanger decreases, leading to more frequent cleaning. This occurs because the flow velocity at the tube wall is slow, allowing dirt to accumulate there. As a result, additional energy is required to restore the performance of the heat exchanger, leading to a decline in production efficiency. Naturally, maintenance costs also increase. Here, we will introduce the mechanism of fouling reduction in the tube by hiTRAN. *For more details, please refer to the materials or feel free to contact us.*

In the petroleum refining industry, improving energy efficiency is a critical issue. The performance of heat exchangers significantly impacts process efficiency, and their enhancement directly correlates with cost reduction. Fouling of heat exchangers decreases performance and worsens plant operating efficiency. CALGAVIN's hiTRAN maximizes the capacity of heat exchangers and suppresses fouling within the tubes, contributing to the efficiency of the petroleum refining process. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Improvement of heat exchanger capacity in petroleum refining plants - Enhancement of existing equipment efficiency - Reduction of running costs 【Effects of Implementation】 - Improved heat exchange efficiency - Reduced running costs - Enhanced plant operating capacity

In the chemical plant industry, there is always a demand for process efficiency and cost reduction. In particular, the performance of heat exchangers significantly affects the overall efficiency of the plant. A decrease in heat exchange efficiency and fouling inside the tubes can worsen the operational efficiency of the plant, leading to additional energy and maintenance costs. CALGAVIN's hiTRAN maximizes the capabilities of heat exchangers and contributes to the overall optimization of the plant. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Heat exchangers in chemical reaction processes - Steam generators, condensers - Improvement of existing equipment capabilities 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Reduction of initial and running costs - Restoration of heat exchanger performance - Improvement of plant operational capacity

CALGAVIN's hiTRAN improves the performance of tubular heat exchangers, whether newly installed or existing! <hiTRAN Thermal Systems> - Heat transfer enhancement elements inserted into the tubes of shell-and-tube heat exchangers - By generating turbulence within the tubes and constantly applying high shear stress, it becomes difficult for boundary layers to form near the tube walls. In short, "It's a technology that smartly disrupts the flow inside the tubes, enhancing the heat exchanger's performance 'just by its content'!" - Increase in tube-side heat transfer coefficient (up to 16 times) - Applicable to single-phase and two-phase flows, including high and low viscosity fluids - Reduction in heat transfer surface area - Reduced maintenance costs due to decreased fouling - Energy savings through reduced energy requirements By utilizing this technology, why not consider improving the performance of air-cooled heat exchangers (air fin coolers)? Strengthening the "tube-side heat transfer," which is a weakness of air-cooled heat exchangers (air fin coolers), with hiTRAN can compensate for external air dependency and capacity shortages, leading to the following benefits: 1. Improvement in thermal performance 2. Reduction in cleaning frequency and downtime 3. Reduction in fan power consumption
