Energy-saving of distillation heat exchangers using the heat transfer enhancement material hiTRAN.

Introducing the principle of hiTRAN to improve the heat transfer efficiency on the tube side of multi-tube heat exchangers and its application examples in the distillation field!

Distillation is a separation technique that involves heating a feed liquid to change its phase from liquid to vapor within a distillation column, where the differences in volatility allow for the cooling and liquefaction of product fractions to be extracted. This process requires a significant amount of energy for both the latent heat of evaporation and the latent heat of condensation. This document introduces the principles of hiTRAN (CalGavin Ltd: UK), a heat transfer enhancement medium that has been widely used for over 30 years in the processes of the petrochemical and related industries, and its application examples in the field of distillation, specifically aimed at improving the heat transfer efficiency on the tube side of multi-tube (shell & tube) heat exchangers.
