Heat exchangers for pharmacy applications

P-line heat exchangers meet the highest requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.

At the same time, they meet its stringent hygiene standards imposed by inspection bodies. They have been designed to minimize the risk of contamination and to ensure safe and sterile work.

Water is the most commonly used raw material in the pharmaceutical industry. Used not only as the main ingredient in the production of medicines

and vaccines, it is also utilized for cleaning technological lines and rinsing of packages.

Water for injection (WFI) is produced from purified water that has been treated to eliminate substances harmful to the human body. In the production

of medicines, it plays the role of a solvent, substance for dilution of preparations, as well as means for sterilizing containers, equipment or systems.

Generation, storage, and distribution of WFI takes place in carefully designed systems. The required work parameters are usually determined at the design stage and depend on the parameters of the process for which a given medium is used.

Sanitary aspects in the pharmaceutical industry are extremely important. The WFI systems must meet strict hygiene requirements to prevent product contamination. In order to meet these requirements, Hexonic offers specialized P-line heat exchangers that are ideal to be used in WFI generators, storage and distribution systems, and points of use.

•WFI POINTS OF USE

In order to use WFI it must be cooled to the application temperature, which is usually 25°C to 45°C.

If there are many points of use with the same temperature required, an additional circuit may be separated in the system in which the P-line heat exchanger is installed. Its task is to cool the water to the application temperature
