KnightHawk Technology Products
In addition to our engineering services, KnightHawk has developed and patented technology products for two very specific processes: tube and shell heat exchangers and slag crushers. KnightHawk Intrabody Flow Distributor.
KnightHawk has performed many failure analyses on tube and shell heat exchangers. One common root cause has been poorly distributed flow in the inlet cone. Poor flow distribution can lead to erosion, fouling (coking), plugging the tubes prematurely, film boiling or blistering. We have a proven methodology to determine the root cause of these types of problems, but more importantly, we have developed a solution through our engineered product.
The Intrabody Flow Distributor (IFD) is an engineered product which is custom designed for each tube and shell heat exchanger. Through the use of proprietary numerical analysis, we can solve your hot end problems by evenly distributing the flow across the tube sheet, which will eliminate most of the conditions that lead to erosion, corrosion, fouling, and film boiling. The IFDs are constructed of high temperature cast alloy in order to survive the environment in the inlet cone. Our special slip joint anchor bolt design allows for thermal growth and eliminates fatigue concerns.
KHE Intrabody Flow Distributor
KnightHawk has performed many failure analyses on heat exchanger application. One common root cause has been poorly distributed flow in the inlet cone. Poor flow distribution can lead to Erosion, Fouling (Coking) plugging the tubes prematurely, Film boiling or Blistering. KHE has developed a proven methodology for analyzing these type problems to determine the root cause, but more importantly, KHE has developed a solution for most of these problems with an engineered product.
The Intrabody Flow Distributor is an engineered product which is custom designed for each heat exchanger application. Through the use of proprietary numerical analysis, we can solve your hot end problems by evenly distributing the flow across the tube sheet, which will elminate most of the conditions that lead to erosion, corrosion, fouling and film boiling. The IFDs are constructed of high temperature cast alloy in order to survive the environment in the exchanger inlet. Our special slip joint anchor bolt design allows for thermal growth and elminates fatigue concerns.
Key Benefits
- The IFD solves problems related to uneven flow distribution in the inlet cone.
- Constructed of high temperature cast alloy to survive the environment in the inlet cone.
- Special slip joint anchor bolt design allows for thermal growth and eliminates fatigue concerns.
KnightHawk designs, fabricates, and delivers high pressure/high temperature sealed crushers for custom applications. The key to our successful application is our approach to equipment design. The one size fits all approach doesn't work in this area.
For effective crusher design, one must consider, in detail, the material to be crushed. It must be evaluated based on material properties including, but not necessarily limited to, hardness, brittleness, moisture content, and compressibility. The material must be tested in advance to ensure that the crusher will work properly the first time. Additionally, the size of the feed and the discharge requirements must be evaluated.
