Tube and Fin Heat Exchangers in Palm Oil Mills

Tube and Fin Heat Exchangers in Palm Oil Mills

Finned Tube Heat Exchanger (FTE) is an effective heat exchanger which is commonly used in various industrial fields including petrochemical, power, food processing and so on. In palm oil mills, the tube-fin heat exchanger also has a wide range of applications.

During palm oil production, efficient heat exchange operations are often required, such as temperature control during deacidification, deodorisation and dehydration. The tube and fin heat exchanger consists of internal tubes and external fins that transfer heat energy through the internal tubes, while the external fins increase the heat exchange surface area and improve the heat exchange efficiency. This design makes the tube and fin heat exchanger particularly effective in handling high viscosity, high temperature, and high pressure fluids.
