High Pressure CO2 Heat Exchangers

Supercritical fluids by their nature require heat to pass the supercritical phase boundary. However to compress CO2 using our liquid pumps we need to ensure the incoming CO2 supply remains as a liquid. We do this by cooling it to below 5° C.

So, at Core Separations we offer 2 types of tube in shell CO2 heat exchangers, to either chill the incoming CO2 feed or heat it after compression. Our heat exchanger range is designed to operate at different pressures, making them the heat exchangers of choice when building both supercritical and subcritical extraction systems.
