For a German client we are at the moment manufacturing this Helitower. The Helitower is a special design Texas Tower build under license of Lummus Technology’s Helixchanger ® heat exchanger technology.
The technology is based upon a helical flow principle. The corkscrew flow results in better heat dissipation and a reduced pressure drop. Helixchanger® heat exchangers are energy-efficient and produce less pollution than traditional shell and tube exchangers. (Vermeer Eemhaven International has built 10% of all Helix-devices sold)
Normal shell and tube heat exchanger are built with segmental baffle position, which causes deadzones. The Helix Angle drilling from 5 – 45 degrees which prevents fouling and creates up to a 25% efficiency increase.
