Schmidt-Bretten SIGMASHELL is relevant for plants where heat transfer has a direct effect on product quality, energy use and process continuity. It is selected for thermal treatment of liquids, vapours and gases in demanding chemical, petrochemical, power, renewable-energy and industrial duties. For engineers and maintenance teams, the main value is a compact plate-and-shell concept for high thermal, pressure and temperature requirements.
SIGMASHELL combines laser-welded plate technology with a shell construction for demanding heat-transfer duties. The shell can be fully welded or accessible on one or two sides, and multi-pass arrangements are possible on both shell and plate side. Herringbone plate embossing supports turbulent flow, while counter-flow, co-flow and cross-flow arrangements can be considered in the thermal design.
Key technical parameters include heat-transfer area up to 700 m², temperature range from -200 °C to 550 °C, vacuum to 150 bar and viscosity up to 8,000 mPas. Common plate materials are available according to the manufacturer. These datapoints should be checked against the final media, temperature profile, pressure level, viscosity and service requirements before selection.
From a lifecycle perspective, the shell configuration affects access, inspection and maintenance possibilities. Selecting the correct plate material, flow arrangement and access concept helps align the exchanger with process continuity and maintenance planning. AxFlow can support product selection, service questions and availability for the required configuration.
