Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: 304L stainless steel – low carbon content reduces carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance in ice storage environments.
- Design: Pillow-type (also known as embossed or dimpled plate) – provides a large surface area for efficient heat transfer while maintaining a compact profile.
- Application: Specifically designed for ice storage thermal energy storage systems, including chilled water storage, ice harvesting, and phase change material (PCM) integration.
- Efficiency: High heat transfer coefficient due to the turbulent flow created by the pillow pattern, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
- Customization: Available in various sizes, pressure ratings, and connection types (threaded, flanged, or welded) to suit your specific system requirements.
- Surface Finish: Options include pickled, polished, or electro-polished finishes to meet hygiene and aesthetic standards.
- Pressure & Temperature Range: Designed for typical operating pressures up to 1.0 MPa and temperatures from -20°C to 150°C, with higher ratings available upon request.

Advantages for Your Ice Storage Project
- Enhanced Heat Transfer: The pillow-type design creates turbulent flow, significantly improving the heat transfer coefficient compared to standard tubes or flat plates. This means faster charging and discharging of ice storage, reducing system cycle time.
- Space-Saving: With a compact structure, these heat exchangers fit into limited spaces, ideal for retrofitting existing ice storage tanks or for new installations where footprint is a concern.
- Corrosion Resistance: 304L stainless steel offers excellent resistance to chlorides and other aggressive chemicals commonly found in ice storage water treatment, prolonging equipment life.
- Easy Maintenance: The smooth surface and simple geometry allow for straightforward cleaning and inspection, minimizing downtime.
- Customization: We can tailor the size, pressure rating, connection type, and surface finish to match your existing system without expensive modifications.
Our pillow-type heat exchangers have been successfully deployed in commercial cooling, industrial refrigeration, and district cooling projects. They help clients achieve energy savings of up to 15-20% compared to conventional designs, while maintaining consistent outlet temperatures and reducing compressor load. The 304L material ensures long-term reliability even in cyclic freeze-thaw applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the typical lead time for a custom pillow-type heat exchanger?
Lead time depends on complexity and order quantity. Standard sizes typically ship within 15-20 days after order confirmation. Custom designs may require 25-35 days. We offer expedited options for urgent projects. -
Can this heat exchanger be used with other fluids besides water/ice slurry?
Yes, the 304L material is compatible with a wide range of fluids, including glycols, brines, and some mild chemicals. However, please provide your fluid composition and operating conditions so we can verify compatibility and recommend the appropriate gasket or welding material. -
What is the maximum operating pressure for standard models?
Standard models are designed for up to 1.0 MPa. For higher pressures, we can reinforce the plate design or use thicker material. Our engineering team can evaluate your specific requirements. -
Do you offer testing and certification services?
Yes, we provide hydrostatic pressure testing, helium leak testing, and material certification (mill test reports) upon request. These services are available at an additional cost. Please let us know your needs during the inquiry. -
How do I clean the pillow-type heat exchanger?
For most applications, flushing with clean water or a mild detergent solution is sufficient. For stubborn deposits, chemical cleaning agents compatible with 304L stainless steel can be used. Our design allows easy access to both sides for mechanical cleaning if needed. -
Can you provide a heat exchanger with a different material, such as 316L or titanium?
We can fabricate pillow-type heat exchangers in other materials (e.g., 316L, duplex stainless steel, or titanium) for more aggressive environments. Please contact us with your material preference and we will provide a quotation. -
What is the warranty period for these heat exchangers?
We offer a standard warranty of 12 months from the date of shipment against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service conditions. Extended warranty options are available upon request. -
Do you have samples available for testing?
Yes, we can provide small sample units or sections for performance testing. However, sample costs and shipping will be discussed on a case-by-case basis. For large orders, we can also arrange a factory visit for inspection.
Note: All specifications are subject to final engineering review. Contact our sales team for a detailed proposal tailored to your project.
