Coiled tube heat exchangers for cooling in tunnelling and mining

Heat exchangers for dusty and aggressive air conditions

WAT coiled tube heat exchangers are air/water heat exchangers that are designed in particular for application in dusty and aggressive air conditions. These heat exchangers are characterized especially by their positive system features:

  • High heat transition coefficient
  • Low pressure loss
  • Robust design for underground application
  • Trouble-free operation with minimal dust deposit
  • Easy maintenance through fast cleaning
  • Water-side operating pressure up to 63 bar

Apart from the standard version optional customizations according to your requirements are possible:

  • Dimensions
  • Designs (round, angular, oval)
  • Sensors (temperature, pressure, flow rate)
  • Material (copper, copper-nickel, stainless steel, PET)
  • Water connections (flange, Victaulic, fitting)

Air-Cooler
type RWK and SPK

Explosion-proof Ex ATex
Air-cooler heat exchanger RWK 300 N for cooling mining and tunnelling 3D

Your benefits:

WAT air-coolers can be used everywhere, where specific high requirements are imposed on air-cooling, e.g. for application in underground roads or long walls as well as on a TBM’s back-up system.

  • Heat exchangers with cooling capacity from 25 kW up to 2,000 kW
  • Air/water heat exchangers for application at underground or on a TBM
  • Water-side operating pressure up to 63 bar
  • Explosion-proof design (ATEX group I Category M2 for mining)

Re-Cooler
type RK

Explosion-proof Ex ATex
Re-cooler RK 1075 for cooling in mining and tunnelling with heat exchanger water cooling

Your benefits:

WAT re-coolers are especially used, when only an underground re-cooling by air is possible and high requirements on re-cooling are imposed because of the air conditions.

  • Heat exchangers with cooling capacity from 100 kW up to 1,500 kW
  • Underground evaporative cooling tower (constant water supply necessary)
  • Water-side operating pressure up to 63 bar
  • Explosion-proof design (ATEX group I Category M2 for mining)
