DAIRY EQUIPMENT
Double Pipe Heat Exchanger
Material: Stainless steel product-contact piping
Function: Heats or cools process liquids by transferring heat between separate fluid streams
Design: One fluid flows through an inner pipe; the other flows around it
Application: Dairy process lines when suitably configured
Custom options: Size and configuration.

Description
Heat or cool milk or whey in a process line with a Double Pipe Heat Exchanger. Product flows through an inner pipe while a heating or cooling fluid flows through the space around it. Heat passes through the pipe wall without the two fluids mixing.
Key benefits of using a Double Pipe Heat Exchanger
- Straightforward pipe-within-a-pipe design suits smaller heating and cooling duties.
- Counterflow can make effective use of the temperature difference between the two fluids.
- Pipe lengths, diameters and connections can be selected for the required flow and temperature change.
- A hairpin layout can fold a longer pipe run into a smaller footprint when specified.
Pro Tip: Track pressure and temperature changes over time and schedule routine inspection; a worsening trend can reveal fouling before it disrupts production.
