Abstract: Falling film heat exchanger includes circular areas for evenly distributing feed liquid and/or heat exchange liquid to the tube interior and/or exterior surfaces. The circular areas may be defined by a liquid porous material, slots in an O-ring or vertical slots in the holes through and to which the tubes are joined.

Abstract: A falling film heat exchanger having a plurality of tubes is provided with a liquid distribution member surrounding each tube which directs liquid against the tube external wall to control the falling film flow and to form uniform films on each tube. The liquid can be a feed liquid or a heat exchange liquid such as a refrigerant.

Abstract: Anti-corrosive coating composition mainly applied to the inner surface of a copper alloy made heat exchanger tube, employed in heat changers, of relatively small diameter and of large length. The composition is prepared by adding an aminoalkoxysilane compound or a combination of plural aminoalkoxysilane compounds at a ratio of 0.1-5% by weight to a film-forming coating composition constituting of as a base substance thereof an organic polymer resin selected from a group consisting of alkyl resin, vinyl resin, polyurethane resin, epoxy resin, and acrylic resin. The composition is preferably applied by means of spray coating method.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for distributing liquid in the form of film within vertical tubes. The apparatus is constituted by a solid cylindrical member inserted as a plug into each tube at the upper end thereof. Said member is provided with an upper ledge, a lower cavity forming a circular rim at its base, and helical outer grooves extending also in the ledge and having a depth less than the thickness of said rim.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiple phase flow tube for evaporating and reacting components in compound mixtures in which a spiral pipe is arranged within a multiple phase flow pipe. The components are propelled by means of an internally flowing gas stream in an annular shaped passage formed by a spiral tube and a second tube arranged as a core of the spiral tube. The second tube contains a heat exchange medium. The spiral tube is arranged within a cylindrical casing which contains a heat exchange medium. A gaseous stream of a reduced amount is then sufficient for carrying out the particular chemical process desired.
