Hybrid heat exchanger started up
In the beginning of 2018 our client took their SPX APV Hybrid S4 Plate Heat exchanger into operation. The delivery was done as early as summer of 2017 to a power plant on the Swedish east coast.
The application is for ehating of bio-oil (220 kW, 76 tons/hr) which is to be pumped through approx. 200 m pipes from the storage tank to the incineration boiler.
APV’s fully welded plate heat exchanger which they call their ”Hybrid” model in effect looks like a tube heat exchanger on one side with up to 7 mm ”diameter” and with a more traditional corrugated shape/design
