PVDF/PFA/PTFE Heat Exchangers Immersion Coils

Materials of Construction

Materials of construction for the Immersion Coil Heat Exchanger consists of either polypropylene, PVDF, or PTFE for the 

frame, and either FEP, PFA, or PTFE for the tubing. Custom designs may include other fluoropolymer materials such as 

ETFE, ECTFE or PCTFE.

Advantages

The advantages of our heat exchanger products over alternative designs include:

Low operating cost - The operating cost includes maintenance such as inspection, cleaning, downtime, and repair. This is 

primarily due to the relatively simple design that involves no plastic welding joints

No weld joints - Unlike metals that are subject to more rapid degradation under aggressive pickle bath conditions, Fluorotherm’s 

heat exchangers withstand aggressiveness

Off the shelf repair kits - In case of an unlikely event of accidental tube damage, these kits enable a quick repair of the tubing

No tube bundling - The strong tubing coils are optimally spaced so acid flow and therefore heat transfer is maintained without 

fouling.

Constant operating efficiency - Fluoropolymers such as PTFE, FEP or PFA, are inherently  “non-stick”, so fouling by scale deposition 

is minimized, assuring a constant operating efficiency that does not decrease over time. No other material, except natural diamond, inhibits sticking of the pickle bath particulates more than fluoropolymers

Immersion Coil Heat Exchangers

Manufactures H2 conductive tubing coil heat exchangers for use in restricted spaces in new and retrofit applications. This product provides between 2.3 to 2.7times the heat transfer capability of clear, natural tubing coils. The heat transfer rate is similar to steel 

without the corrosion attack susceptibility. It is also used in baths where electrical static discharge is a major concern. This product has

undergone several iterations of improvement in properties and is unique to our line of heat exchanger offerings.
