Immersion-Type Heat Exchanger

CALORPLAST Plastic Immersion-Type Heat Exchangers

For over 40 years, CALORPLAST plastic immersion-type heat exchangers have set the industry standard for heating and cooling highly concentrated inorganic acids, high-purity fluids, and corrosive or scaling liquids. By combining innovative CALORPLAST module technology with corrosion-resistant engineering plastics, these heat exchangers deliver a compact design with superior heat transfer efficiency.

CALORPLAST immersion-type heat exchangers are trusted across industries with stringent performance and cost-efficiency requirements. From surface technology and chemical processing to battery acid cooling, electrolyte management, and seawater applications, CALORPLAST delivers reliable, high-performance solutions tailored to diverse industrial needs.

Each immersion-type heat exchanger is custom-designed using advanced computer-aided simulations to meet specific process requirements. The core design features an array of thin-walled tubes, seamlessly integrated into a module through a patented manufacturing process. These modules can be welded, piped, and configured to optimize heating or cooling flows, achieving maximum surface density with minimal pressure loss. This results in heat transfer performance that often surpasses traditional metal immersion-type heat exchangers, such as tube or plate designs, within a comparable footprint. The open tube-pack design enhances heat transfer efficiency, promotes bath media circulation, and simplifies cleaning and maintenance. Even minor mechanical damage can be repaired on-site, ensuring operational continuity.

Unlike metal-based heat exchangers with coated surfaces, CALORPLAST immersion-type heat exchangers are constructed entirely from high-quality plastic. This eliminates the risk of creeping corrosion, even in the event of mechanical damage. Their lightweight design simplifies installation and removal, while compatibility with pressurized water, steam, or chemical cleaning processes ensures easy maintenance and an extended service life.
