The Best Systems Made Better TEMP-PLATE® INFLATED HEAT TRANSFER SURFACE

Temp-Plate® Inflated Heat Transfer Surface Custom Heat Transfer Paul Mueller Company’s Temp-Plate® is a custom inflated heat transfer surface that is crafted to your specifications dependant on application, operating pressure and size. Temp-Plate utilizes two sheets of stainless steel, titanium Grade 1, carbon steel, and high alloy metals that are spot welded and seamed around the edges to create a single panel. After the panel is welded, it is inflated to create space for the flow of a heating or cooling medium that keeps a constant and turbulent flow between the welded panels. Highly...

Temp-Plate Welding Styles Double Embossed Surface Inflated Both Sides—Commonly used in immersion applications, the Mueller Temp-Plate double embossed construction maximizes the heating and cooling process by utilizing both sides of the heat transfer plate. Single Embossed Surface Inflated One Side—Mueller Temp-Plate single embossed heat transfer surface is economical when used for interior tank walls, conveyor beds, or when a flat side is required. Dimpled Surface Dimpled One Side—Dimpled Mueller Temp-Plate construction is machine punched and swaged prior to welding to increase the flow...

Temp-Plate Inflated Bank Assembly Wasted Resources Typically suited for large scale applications, Temp-Plate inflated bank assemblies could be the missing link in your facility. Bank assemblies consist of multiple Temp-Plate panels packed and welded together for large amounts of heat transfer surface area. They can be used in a variety of exhaust streams, as well as being immersed in a liquid bath for heat recovery. Top quality heating and cooling capabilities with exceptional energy recovery means more cost savings to go straight to your bottom line. A wide variety of material gauges and...

You have the difficult task of identifying processes in your facility where you can go green. There are hidden opportunities throughout your plant to be more sustainable and efficient, but you need someone who’s an expert on the subject to pinpoint them and provide solutions. If your company is implementing or has implemented a comprehensive sustainability policy, heat recovery may be a way to reach your goals. Here is one example to get you thinking about your specific opportunities. We partnered with a chemical processing plant in Alabama in an effort to recover some of their valuable...

Now, the superheated gas passes through the Temp-Plate Energy Bank before escaping into the atmosphere. The gas heats a process fluid from 85°F to ~150°F as it flows through the energy bank. Then, the process fluid is pumped to other locations within the plant where the heat can be utilized in other applications. The Temp-Plate bank’s special flexible mounting allows for thermal expansion. Over $1,000,000 in Energy Savings By now utilizing the wasted heat energy, the Alabama processing plant has been able to save over $1,000,000 in energy costs. The investment into sustainable technology...

Temp-Plate Immersion Assembly Built to Last Your application may require heat transfer directly to the source. Whether you’re heating a chemical bath to anodize aluminum or manufacturing polyethylene, Paul Mueller Company will help you implement Temp-Plate Immersion Assembly, to help your process move at maximum efficiency. Our immersion panels are suited for direct heating or cooling of liquids, often highly corrosive. Our equipment is fabricated by experienced craftsmen and tested to strict standards. Why Immersion Assembly? Unique Design Designed to reduce fatigue failure due to...

Immersion Assembly in Log Ponds When wood logs need to be reserved for periods of time above freezing temperatures, it is best practice to keep them wet by using log ponds or other methods to avoid issues like end checking or decomposition from insects. Keeping logs immersed in temperature controlled water can help soften and loosen bark before treating and processing. Proper treatment and storage of logs can greatly affect the outcome of the product, and help defend against the possibility of warping or freezing. Maintaining your log pond at a constant temperature is an effective method to...

Temp-Plate Clamp-On Assembly Suited for a Variety of Applications Clamp-on assemblies are ideal for heating or cooling the contents of your processing tank or vessel to drive efficiency and allow you to produce a consistent product. Styles • Pipe Clamp-On • Shell Clamp-On • Cone Clamp-On • Head Clamp-On Our clamp-on heat transfer surface can be crafted, welded, and applied to your system with minimal to no equipment downtime, depending on your application. Paul Mueller Company provides high-grade materials, impeccable design, and experienced craftsmanship to create highly versatile heat...

Temp-Plate in Oil Refining Clamp-on Temp-Plate inflated heat transfer can be custom-manufactured to your specifications and attached to your vessel either on the inside or outside. The greatest benefit of a clamp-on application is its ease of installation within an existing process. Sometimes, as a process evolves, the need for a heat exchanger develops, but the floor plan may not have sufficient room for one. In this case, custom heat transfer can be clamped on to an existing vessel to serve as a heat exchanger without taking up any extra space. Becon Engineering from Houston serves as a...
