The Science at Solex
More than a Heat Exchanger
When you deal with Solex for your cooling, heating or drying of bulk solids, you get more than a heat exchanger. You get a custom engineered solution that is designed using advanced thermal and flow property evaluation methods.
Guaranteed Performance
Every project undergoes a detailed three phase engineering assessment to ensure optimal heat exchanger design and sizing. The three phase assessment process includes, Lab testing, Theoretical Modeling, and where necessary, Pilot Testing. This detailed engineering process results in a heat exchanger design that comes with guaranteed process and thermal performance.
PHASE 1: LAB TESTING
Lab testing evaluates the flow characteristics and thermal properties of the bulk solid material.
PHASE 2: THEORETICAL MODELING
Solex uses its proprietary thermal modeling software, ThermaPro, to accurately predict product temperature profiles of the bulk solid material at each point through the heat exchanger.
PHASE 3: PILOT TESTING
When necessary, on-site pilot testing is performed to verify the operability of the Solex heat exchanger under true process conditions.
Result
Guaranteed thermal and process performance. Stable final product temperatures are guaranteed!
