    Howden HC Element ™

    The next generation of heat transfer elements

    Aerodynamically closed design.

    Following extensive research and laboratory testing, various international patents have
    been awarded for the advanced Howden HC Element™ profiles. Heat transfer elements
    incorporating the HC Element™ profiles are now available in a variety of configurations
    to meet every fuel and performance requirement.

    The HC Element™ profiles utilise flow channels While other modern element designs set
    parallel to the axis of the heater and introduce out to address the problems of skew flow by
    a revolutionary transverse herringbone sheet using individual, physically closed channels
    which eliminates cold corner problems and to constrain flow and promote soot blower

    the same duties can now be achieved by
    using wider pitched or shallower elements.

    Unlike most other elements, HC Element™

    can be safely subjected to a much higher
    packing pressure producing rigid, fatigue
    resistant packs. The Howden HC Element™.

    With straight-through corrugations that promote improved


    cleaning and combat pressure drop drift, our HC Element™
    provide superior fouling and pluggage resistance and better
    resistance to fatigue damage from soot blowing.

    Symmetrical design means all flow channels DU Profile Soot blower jet impact area

    The ratio of channel size to the height of the


    undulations is designed to produce enough
    turbulence to optimise heat transfer at
    minimal pressure drop.

    Reduced fouling as a result of uniform


    velocities, better penetration of soot blower
    jets and absence of pinch points.

    Material specification and element design

    pressure water jets a cost effective and
    viable solution.

    Enamelled versions produce a high level of
