Graphite Block Heat Exchangers

Graphite Block Heat Exchangers

SGL offer graphite block heat exchangers in three designs; cylindrical, cubic and monolithic. The cylindrical design is the mainstay of the range for use in near universal applications, whilst the cubic type is primarily supplied to pharmaceutical applications, the monolithic design has the graphite blocks cemented together producing a homogenous exchanger able to operate at higher pressures.

All of the graphite block heat exchangers are manufactured from graphite blocks impregnated with phenolic resin (the SGL DIABON material). The impregnated graphite has excellent corrosion resistance and very high thermal conductance which allows for a comparable reduction in the size of the heat exchangers. The DIABON material is FDA (Food and Drug administration) approved so heat exchangers are quite suitable for use in pharmaceutical industries.

SGL are a world leader in manufacturing Graphite Block Heat Exchangers and have been supplying these to many chemical processors across many sectors and geographical areas, in fact over 10,000 heat exchangers have been supplied to customers. Each exchanger is designed to suit the customers specific requirements and are available with heat exchange areas from 0.5m² up to 850m²
