GAB-Neumann - Silicon Carbide Block Heat Exchangers
From Silicon Carbide Heat Exchangers
CORRESIC silicon carbide block heat exchangers are adapted to the heating, cooling, evaporation, condensation and absorption of highly corrosive and/or oxidizing chemicals. This design is one of the most versatile type of silicon carbide heat exchangers. Rows of holes are drilled through the silicon carbide blocks both horizontally and vertically to form the process and service channels. Heat is transferred by conduction through the silicon carbide left between the rows of holes which separate the mediums being used. SiC block heat exchangers consist in a stack of blocks encapsulated in a steel shell.

Cold isostatic pressing of a silicon carbide block
Cold isostatic pressing is a powder compaction method conducted at room temperature and involving applying pressure from multiple directions through a liquid medium surrounding the compacted part. A flexible mold immersed in a pressurized liquid medium is used. The material used to manufacture silicon carbide blocks is produced by cold isostatic pressing.
Deep drilling of a silicon carbide block
After cold isostatic pressing the silicon carbide blocks are precisely machined and deep drilled with computer numerical controlled machines.
