WFI cooling

Cooling water-for-injection loops.

Recommended type

Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger

Cross-contamination has to be provably impossible, so construction is chosen for leak detectability before it is chosen for duty. A fully welded plate-and-shell pack removes the gasket from the WFI side altogether; a double-wall gasketed unit is the alternative, its interstitial space vented so a breach shows at the vent rather than in the loop.

Two plate & shell units finished and standing in the packing bay. The bolted head on each comes off to withdraw the plate pack; everything on the shell side is welded, which is what carries this construction past the pressure and temperature a gasket will take.
