Safety first - The safety heat exchanger from GTS! Safety heat exchangers have established themselves as a standard in the chemical industry, energy sector, heavy and light industry, in the oil and gas, marine, transportation and refrigeration sectors as well as in the food and beverage industry, where they are highly valued. This can be the heat exchange between a medium that is hostile to the environment and a medium that is released back into the environment, or the heat exchange between two media that react with each other. This results in the typical areas of application of safety heat exchangers, such as in the oil cooling of turbines, gearboxes and compressors in industrial water heating, the wood industry and in the chemical and petrochemical industries, where mixing must be avoided at all costs for process reasons.
In times of stricter laws and regulations with regard to safety requirements for environmental and water protection, safety double-tube heat exchangers from GTS Thielmann Energietechnik are the technology of choice.
Installation reasons for GTS safety double-tube heat exchangers with leakage monitoring
The decisive installation reasons usually result from the following requirements:
- Compliance with legal requirements, which are becoming increasingly stringent
- Safe transportation of environmentally hazardous media
- Safety motive for risk reduction and limitation of liability
- Reduction of insurance risks, protection against liability risks
- Environmental issues are becoming increasingly important
- Moral and ethical reservations regarding the occurrence of leaks during heat transfer of hazardous chemicals or media
- Protection of people (personnel in buildings); the plant operator is responsible for the safety of personnel
- Controllability of leaks while protecting the environment, early leak detection to prevent damage through appropriate leak monitoring systems
- Avoidance of operational interruptions - protection of sensitive and expensive production systems. Production downtimes can be very expensive!
- Low pressure loss with maximum heat transfer
