Bulk solids heat exchanger.


The Bulkflow heat exchanger heat exchanger

Any of several devices that transfer heat from a hot to a cold fluid. In many engineering applications, one fluid needs to be heated and another cooled, a requirement economically accomplished by a heat exchanger.
 is offered for indirect heating and cooling of free flowing bulk solids. The Bulkflow heat exchanger heats or cools powders and bulk solids and combines the two sciences of indirect heat transfer and mass flow of bulk solids. The powder or bulk solids move slowly by gravity between vertical heat transfer surfaces formed by welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat.  plates containing the heat transfer fluid, typically water in the case of a cooler. A mass flow discharge device controls the product flow rate. Equipment is contained in a totally sealed unit to eliminate any concern for dirt or contamination contamination /con·tam·i·na·tion/ (kon-tam?i-na-shun)

 the company. The combination of technologies is said to make the Bulkflow equipment environmentally friendly Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal harm on the environment.[1] . Unlike many other types of bulk solid coolers, the Bulkflow system does not require large volumes of air to operate, and instead lets gravity do the work to greatly reduce power consumption, according to the company. The company's technology is said to provide a gentle, improved product flow.
