In the pulp and paper industry, falling film chillers are essential for efficient cooling in processes like pulping, bleaching, and paper machine operations. These devices optimize heat transfer, ensuring rapid cooling while handling corrosive chemicals and high-volume flows.
Falling film chillers are designed to rapidly cool process media to precise temperatures. In this setup, a thin film of liquid flows over vertical tubes, with refrigerant evaporating inside, providing high-efficiency indirect cooling. They can manage significant temperature drops required in pulp and paper methods such as digester cooling, bleach plant chilling, or black liquor evaporation. Their ability to quickly transfer heat, handle phase changes, maintain process purity, and support energy recovery make them vital to the industry.
Falling film chillers play a critical role in cooling, condensation, chemical recovery, and heat management in pulp and paper production. Manufacturers construct these chillers with materials that meet industry standards for durability and safety, including corrosion-resistant designs. Advanced engineering addresses scalability and maintenance, allowing seamless integration into pulp and paper systems.
