Pharma-X Sanitary Heat Exchanger

The Pharma-X heat exchanger is ideal for point-of-use cooling of WFI but can also be used for other duties where the purpose is to quickly heat or cool purified water or Water-for-Injection (WFI).

The Pharma-X heat exchanger is made up of three tubes placed within each other with the product in the centre tube and the heating or cooling media in the inner and outer tube.

A spiral is used to aid uniform spacing of the tubes, eliminate laminar flow of the fluid and increase the efficiency of the heat exchanger. The turbulent flow will minimize the risk for biofilm build-up.

The Pharma-X heat exchanger is virtually maintenance-free with no gaskets to renew thus saving valuable downtime of the system. It has the following special features:

• Low hold-up volume giving a quick response time for temperature changes.
• No internal welds ensuring complete protection against cross contamination and easy leakage detection
• Low cooling water demand.
• Drainable on product side.
• Electropolished seamless tubes for high hygiene and cleanability.
