Westcome heat exchangers have been developed specifically to exchange heat from sludge, slurry and other biomass with high dry matter content and with a dry matter composition in which energies are difficult to move.
Westcome heat exchangers are the only heat exchangers on the market designed as single-tube heat exchangers where heat is exchanged directly from high viscosity flows in a direct counterflow exchange, such as slurry / slurry, without an additional circuit to transport the heat energy between the two circuits.
Westcome heat exchangers are designed for low-rate operation, typically 0.3 m/s, which involve a low pressure loss compared with the pressure loss of other heat exchangers, which often have flow rates in excess of 1.0 m/s.
