FinnStainless cutting-edge technology is based on innovative heat exchanger which is made from extremely thin stainless steel. Proprietary structure provides exchanger with unique performance characteristics.
Typical use cases for the exchanger include
- Heat collection and convection from fluids
- Heat collection and convection from gases
- Heat collection and convection from thermal radiation
Unique features of the exchanger enable the creation of simple and effective components for various heating systems, such as:
- Heat collectors for natural waters and artificial water pools - will work 24/7 and 365 days a year
- Heat collectors utilizing outdoor air - tolerate humidity, dust and freezing conditions
- Heat recuperators for air conditioning systems - can be easily fitted into existing AC systems
- Heat recuperators for waste waters - no need to pre-clean the waste water
- Combined air and solar collector - for cold climate conditions
- Heat storages for buffering - heat loss than two degrees
- Any combination of the above
Flat cell structure
Effective
Heat exchanger's core structure is efficiently used in heat transfer as up to 97 % of the surface is utilized in transfer
Reliable
Structure tolerates high pressure differences (max 18 bars between fluids) and extreme temperatures (600 °C for standard range and up to 1200 °C for special use cases).
Universal
Performance is maintained in all conditions. Heat exchanger can be installed vertically, horizontally and any freely defined angle.
Cost-Effective
Easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning which minimizes maintenance related downtimes.
100 % stainless steel (or titanium) with a thickness of 0,3 mm
Effective
Thin material wall minimizes heat loss during transfer
Reliable
Mechanically extremely tolerable and care-free
Universal
Suitable for high pressure and temperature variations and works perfectly in dirty environments such as waste waters or open waters
Cost-Effective
Material and structure guarantees long lifetime (25 years) with minimal maintenance (typical intervals between 5 and 10 years)
Structurally unique connections
Effective
Connectors have been specifically designed to maximize operational efficiency of the heat exchanger
Reliable
Connector points are made without welding which improves the overall reliability of the structure
Universal
Customizable connectivity enables different flow directions for the heat exchange fluid
Cost-Effective
Adaptability and intuitive markings make connections easy and cut down both installation and maintenance costs
Proprietary welding of the structure
Effective
Structure doesn't utilize any sealings between steel plates which prevents heat loss at connections
Reliable
Proprietary and carefully considered weldings ensure compact structure which eliminates formation of rust and any connections will remain reliable and tight
Universal
Structure without elastic polymer sealings yields wide operational range and nearly maintance-free operation
Cost-Effective
Elimination of sealings typical for heat exchangers means that there is no consumables costs and overall maintenance interval becomes longer
Fluid channels of the FinnStainless Heat Exchangers
Lens-like profile
Effective
Profile shape spreads the heat transfer fluid homogeneously to the entire surface of the exchanger and the channels offer free flow of the fluid improving overall quality of the heat transfer
Reliable
Low risk for cavitation which reduces the mechanical stress inside the exchanger
Universal
Low hydraulic resistance inside the exchanger allow efficient operation even though the overall pressure of the fluid channel remains low.
Cost-Effective
Smaller exchanger area provides same heat transfer efficiency compared to traditional exchangers
Patented and innovative manufacturing technology
Effective
High cross sectional area for the fluid flow allows slower flow speeds and thus longer time for the heat transfer between matters
Reliable
Highly controlled process ensures homogeneity of the steel structure and eliminates the formation of micro cracs. Resulting structure is reliable and tight
Universal
Can also be used in clean environments (for example drinking water) as well as in systems with zero leakage requirements
Cost-Effective
Extremely scalable and flexible production process enables short leadtimes as well as opportunity for customization according to the customer needs
Turbulence inside the channels
Effective
Turbulence increases convection and thus improves heat transfer efficiency
Reliable
Micro-scale shockwaves and turbulent flow reduces the build-up of impurities inside the channels which prolongs lifetime
Universal
Heat exchanger can be installed in technical processes which utilizes heterogeneous or discontinuous heat transfer medias
Cost-Effective
Longer maintenance interval saves time and money
Small volume in a large area
Effective
Small inherent volume of the transfer medium combined with large surface provides small inertia
Reliable
Freezing or overheating does not create permanent damage to the exchanger
Universal
Small and light unit size allows the exchanger to be used in conditions with limited space and weight constraints
Cost-Effective
High efficiency eliminates the need for excess exchangers
