Extruded bimetal tubes for a paper mill dryer hood heat recovery system, supplied in long lengths to minimise site joints.
Requirement
The paper mill was recovering heat from a dryer hood exhaust. Space was tight, so the design needed maximum surface area per bundle volume, and the tubes had to arrive in long lengths to limit field welding in a congested area.
Specification
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Tube | Extruded bimetal, carbon steel base |
| Fin | Aluminium, 12.7 mm height, 2.8 mm pitch |
| Length | 9,000 mm |
| Quantity | 1,600 tubes |
| Packing | Sea-worthy cases, VCI film |
Outcome
Long lengths eliminated roughly 30 % of the field joints compared with the original 6 m design, shortening the shutdown.
