Product Description
1. Characteristics of raw materials selected for silicon carbide |
The silicon carbide heat exchange tube is made of ultra-fine silicon carbide micropowder, and is sintered at high temperature by employing pressureless sintering process. The content of silicon carbide in the finished product is over 98% whilst the density of which is greater than or equal to 3.10 g/cm. As the product is free from silicon, the quality of the heat exchanger consequentially lives up to the technical standards published by the Morgan Advanced Materials PLC and the Saint-Gobain. It is widely used in aerospace, nuclear power, metal smelting, high temperature kiln, lithium-ion battery production, powder metallurgy, ceramic chemical machinery, ultrafine grinding, paper making, medicine and other fields, due to its excellent properties such as high mechanical strength and hardness, good thermal conductivity, resistance to wear, high temperature, oxidation, strong acid and alkali corrosion, extreme cold and heat, thermal shock and high temperature creep. 2. Properties of pressureless sintered silicon carbide materials |
High temperature strength--it is still workable with unfailing performance in the ambient of air even at high temperature exceeding 1600 ºC (in the ambient of inert gas and working under condition of vacuum, the upper limit of temperature can rise to 2000 ºC).Hardness--SiC is a high-performance material second only to diamond and cubic boron nitride.Abrasion resistance--Ultra high hardness and density make it ideal for parts/components that withstand high wear.Thermal shock resistance--the material is featured with excellent thermal shock resistance due to its high thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion, and it is competent for rapid thermal cycling in comparison with other refractories.Resistance to corrosion, oxidation and erosion--Such characteristics as high density, low porosity and chemical inertia enable it to work in hot gas and liquid environments, oxidizing and corrosive gases, and strong acid and alkali environments even at ultra-high temperatures.

Silicon carbide tubes are featured with extremely high thermal conductivity. Its thermal conductivity is twice that of tantalum, five times that of stainless steel, 10 times that of Hastelloy, 15 times that of glass-lining and 50 times that of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). For the reason of excellent thermal conductivity, SiC heat exchanger is endowed with higher efficiency of heat exchanging and therefore needs a relatively small heat exchange surface. Silicon carbide is the high-end material with the best performance among the available heat exchanger tube materials at present. Its actual density exceeds 98% of the theoretical density of silicon carbide, and it is a sealing member without any impregnation. Due to the fact that its hardness is 50% higher than that of tungsten carbide (cemented carbide), it has super wear resistance and complete impermeability even under extreme high temperature and pressure, allowing medium to pass at high speed. The high hardness and compactness of silicon carbide also denote that it will not pollute medium in high purity applications.Technical characteristics of our silicon carbide heat exchanger |
Generally, the conventional silicon carbide tube heat exchanger adopts double-layer tubeplate sealing structure, carbon steel tubeplate is placed in the first layer while the second layer is placed with pure tetrafluoro tubeplate or PTFE made from sintering molding process. These tubeplates, however, are dwarfed by the downsides of low strength, easy cracking, unstable sealing performance and limited manufacturing size. It seems that the pressure has been sealed in the above-mentioned structure, but the pure tetrafluoro tubeplate is tend to deform, crack and leak in the event of the tube pass is under high vacuum condition, which has a significant latent risk in use. In addition, the silicon carbide tube is easy to break under instantaneous stress in view of the workmanship defects coupled with brittleness of SiC tube. | |
In case of it was broken when put into service in the client's site, the integral heat exchanger has to be disassembled to replace the silicon carbide tube, which is labor-consuming and laborious. In contrast, our new type of tabular silicon carbide tube heat exchanger using PFA integrated tubeplate with steel-lining. The tubeplate material has the advantages of high density, non-deformation and stable sealing effect. What is better, it further improves the sealing deficiency of the conventional silicon carbide heat exchanger. Engineering two sealing structures in one tubeplate enables seals at shell-side and tube-pass both. In the case of replacing heat exchange tubes, it is only necessary to unfasten two sealing nuts on both ends at first, followed by pulling out SiC tubes, and inserting new tubes. The clients, consequentially, can benefit from the plunge of on-site maintenance cost as it is unnecessary to disassemble the whole unit. Tetrafluoro baffles are used in the shell side of conventional Tabular SiC tube heat exchangers. Due to the brittle characteristics of SiC tubes itself, they are easy to break when exposed to pressure and vibration. We differentiated our design by adding shock absorber plate in the exchanger, which greatly reduced the risk of jitter and easy breaking resulting from pressure, contributing to the augment of heat exchange efficiency and concurrently prolong the service life of the exchanger itself. | |
The heat exchange efficiency/rate of SiC tubes, in contrast, is much higher than that of other materials such as metal, graphite, glass lining, glass and tetrafluoro. It is small in size and the feature of broad breadth of corrosion resistance make it applicable to deal with various corrosive materials.
