Release Date:
2026-05-09
Tripp (Guangzhou) Refrigeration and Heating Equipment Co., Ltd. has successfully shipped eight customized spiral plate heat exchangers for the Cameroon palm oil processing project, marking another significant milestone for the company in the African food‑processing heat‑exchanger market.
Project Overview
- Project Location Cameroon
- Application scenarios : Palm oil heating process
- Core equipment : Spiral plate heat exchanger
- Device Specifications : Single-unit heat exchange area of 70㎡, with a total of 8 units.
- Service Content : One-stop solution for customized design, manufacturing, and export delivery
Project Background and Challenges
During the refining and processing of palm oil, the heating stage of the raw oil places stringent demands on the equipment:
- Medium characteristics Palm oil has high viscosity and is prone to fouling, causing conventional heat exchangers to clog easily and experience rapid declines in heat transfer efficiency.
- Operating Condition Requirements : Requires stable and efficient heating performance to ensure the continuity of the refining process while reducing energy consumption costs.
- Regional Adaptation : In Cameroon, local operating conditions are complex, requiring equipment to feature high reliability and low maintenance costs.
Tripp Solutions
TerryP has customized, in response to the project’s requirements, Spiral plate heat exchanger The solution’s core advantages are as follows:
| Project | Solution Advantages |
|---|---|
| High-efficiency heat exchange | The helical flow channel design increases the heat transfer coefficient by 30%–50% compared with conventional shell-and-tube heat exchangers, meeting the rapid heating requirements of palm oil. |
| Anti-clogging and anti-scaling | The single-channel design enables high‑velocity fluid flow and provides an inherent self‑cleaning effect, significantly reducing fouling and buildup in palm oil processing and decreasing the frequency of shutdowns for maintenance. |
| Customized adaptation | Each unit is designed with a heat exchange area of 70 m²; an array of eight units meets the project’s total thermal load. The compact design facilitates installation and integration. |
| Reliable and durable | Manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials, it is well-suited for palm oil heating applications, offering a long service life and reducing long-term operating costs. |
Project Outcomes
- The equipment was manufactured, packaged, and delivered for export as scheduled, and arrived safely at the Cameroon project site.
- Following commissioning, the palm oil heating process has demonstrated stable operation, with heat‑transfer efficiency meeting design specifications, thereby effectively ensuring the continuity of refining production.
- The low-maintenance design reduces customers’ operating costs, helping them achieve the dual goals of energy savings and cost reduction, and has earned widespread recognition.
