This type of cooler is usually used to cool the water of process close to\u00a0freezing (+ 1 \u00b0 C) when the involved powers are high.<\/p>\n
The system consists of inflated stainless steel plates assembled in batteries with\u00a0a special tray that distributes the water mist on the surface of the plates – where\u00a0inside circulates the cooling fluid – and forms a continuous film on the outside\u00a0of the plate.<\/p>\n
The distribution tray is fundamental and should ensure the uniformity of the\u00a0water film, which must have a constant flow rate and ends in the lower tank\u00a0where there is the pump attachment.\u00a0In this way, given the high descent speed, you get very high K transmission\u00a0coefficients.<\/p>\n
An opening system facilitates inspection and periodic cleaning to maintain\u00a0high efficiency of the system.\u00a0To maintain a constant flow there are additional attachments to connect one or\u00a0more recycling pumps between the collecting tank and the distribution tray.<\/p>\n
Note: The Baudelot cooler or Falling Film is a system with a very high m2\u00a0performance. But unlike the plate chiller this system requires maintenance to\u00a0maintain its efficiency.<\/em><\/p>\n In many applications of food industry they don’t use antifreeze\u00a0(necessary when using closed bundle of pipes or plates exchangers)\u00a0to exclude any contamination of treated products.<\/p>\n The FALLING FILM plants series by OMT are designed to produce\u00a0chilled water at a temperature close to 0 \u00b0 C in an open-loop system\u00a0without hazards due to icing.\u00a0The stainless steel execution gives the assurance that the chilled\u00a0water is always in contact with stainless steel parts AISI 304 or 316L\u00a0that can be used directly for the use required.<\/p>\n Accurate execution, combined with robust construction and use of the\u00a0best components and materials, make FALLING FILM OMT chillers\u00a0very reliable and safe as is required in the construction of industrial\u00a0plants where the cold is an important step in the production process.\u00a0The choice made in collaboration with our technical department will\u00a0guide you on the best open-loop system available in our range (Falling\u00a0film or plate chiller).<\/p>\n Application fields<\/strong>:\u00a0Dairy, beer, meat, fish, vegetables and food in\u00a0general.\u00a0The FALLING FILM systems are preferred in applications where great\u00a0powers with limited space are required.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
