CALGAVIN Multi-Tube Heat Exchanger Heat Transfer Enhancement 'hiTRAN' Catalog
hiTRAN Heat Transfer Enhancement Element
Increase and improve the capacity of heat exchangers, reduce fouling inside the tubes! A group of experts solving various issues related to heat exchangers. Support from Japanese professionals who are well-versed in processes and heat exchangers!
◇ What is "hiTRAN"? 1. Wire elements intricately woven are inserted into the pipes of the heat exchanger. 2. Various wire materials such as SUS and copper can be used. 3. Compatible diameters: φ6 to φ150mm. 4. Applicable to both "existing" and "new" heat exchangers. 5. Appropriate shapes and densities are selected according to specification conditions. ◇ What are the benefits of "hiTRAN"? 1. Miniaturization of new heat exchangers (e.g., from 4 to 1 pass) ⇒ Reduction in initial costs! 2. Recovery of capacity in existing heat exchangers ⇒ Reduction in running costs! 3. Prevention and reduction of dirt in heat exchanger pipes ⇒ Reduction in maintenance costs and shutdown time! 4. Improvement of plant operational capacity ⇒ Reduction in utility costs!

Condition of Internal Pipe Contamination As shown in the photo, there is no accumulation of dirt in areas where hiTRAN is inserted. On the other hand, in areas where nothing is inserted, dirt accumulation on the pipe wall can be visually confirmed. This significantly reduces the time required for internal pipe cleaning and shutdown, leading to a reduction in maintenance costs.

Overall heat transfer coefficient U value and operation period example (actual results) 1. Issues: Performance degradation of heat exchange due to fouling and sedimentation inside the pipes 2. Results: After the insertion of hiTRAN, the "E1 unit (green line)" had its internal fouling removed, and the overall heat transfer coefficient U value became approximately 1.5 times that of the "E2 unit (blue line)" before insertion.

In-pipe simulation Left side of the photo: Not inserted Right side of the photo → hiTRAN inserted The insertion of hiTRAN causes the flow in the wall area to be uplifted (pseudo-turbulence effect), contributing to enhanced heat transfer.
-
hiTRAN insertion status When inserting hiTRAN, it can be easily inserted in the direction of flow. After insertion, the pipe end has a twisted loop of wire, so it only needs to be secured with a key wire or similar.
