Definitions

  • PHE Plate heat exchangers in use may over time get fouled which leads to a decreased heat transfer and increased pressure drop, and thus leads to an overall reduced performance of the heat exchanger.
  • heat exchangers which are not permanently joined will eventually need to be opened and cleaned.
  • the cleaning of PHE may both be time consuming and costly.
  • the process to which the PHE normally is connected to may have to be shut down during said cleaning of the PHE.
  • the plates of heat exchangers are made of metal sheets.
  • the base material i.e. metals used, have a high surface free energy that results in most liquids easily wetting the surface of the sheets.
  • the coating of the present invention further has a content of carbon such as found in hydrocarbon chains.
  • the carbon content is > 10 atomic%, preferably > 20-60 atomic%, and most preferably > 30-40 atomic%.
  • the hydrocarbons impart flexibility and resilience to the coating which is especially important in gasketed plate heat exchangers since the plates move during operation due to high pressures exerted on the plates in the plate package.
  • the hydrocarbon chains are hydrophobic and oleophobic which results in the non-stick properties of the coating.
  • Coat 1 is a silan terminated polymer in butyl acetate and Coat 2 is a polysiloxan-urethan resin in solvent naphtha/butylacetate.
  • Coat 1 Under alkaline conditions Coat 1 showed a better result than Coat 2. Coat 1 could withstand the alkaline conditions for 3 hours at 85 °C and Coat 2 for 2 hours at 85 °C. Both coatings showed no decomposition or reduction in oleophobic properties after being submerged for 6 months in crude oil at room temperature.
