Thermo Scientific DHX Modular Mobile heat exchanger

The Thermo Scientific™ DHX™ Heat Exchanger is a modular heat exchanger system that uses up to four single-use Thermo Scientific™ BioProcess Containers (BPCs) as the sterile fluid path. The BPCs fit tightly between five stainless steel plates, efficiently transferring heat in a counter-current flow path. The DHX Heat Exchanger provides efficient, sterile heat transfer that easily integrates into any process.

Features

• Completely isolated flow paths for process and heat transfer fluid

• Counter-current, serpentine flow patterns

• Dimpled jacketing on the plates, providing turbulent flow

• BPCs that fill in place with no operator interaction

• Modular design and small overall footprint that allows for changing process needs

• Reduced infrastructure requirements

• Reduced processing time

• Improved product consistency

Applications

• cGMP commercial and clinical biotherapeutics, vaccines, and other biologic processes

• Upstream applications, including media hold, harvest cooling, and harvest hold

• Downstream applications, including buffers, protein purification, and bulk drug substance

The Thermo Scientific DHX (Disposable Heat Exchanger) is a modular, single-use system designed for efficient sterile heat transfer in bioprocessing, utilizing a plate-and-frame design with single-use BioProcess Containers (BPCs). It offers a mobile, small-footprint solution that eliminates cleaning validation, accommodating up to four BPCs between five stainless steel plates for optimized, counter-current heat transfer. 

Key Features and Benefits:

• Single-Use Convenience: Uses disposable ASI 26/77 film BPCs, reducing cross-contamination risks and cleaning time.
• Modular Design: Small footprint allows for easy integration into existing process steps.
• High Efficiency: Uses dimpled stainless steel plates to create turbulent, counter-current flow for enhanced heat transfer.
• Sterile Heat Transfer: Designed for pharmaceutical and biotech applications needing reliable temperature control. 
• Thermo Fisher Scientific

Technical Specifications:

• Capacity: Up to four BPCs (6L or 12L) can be used, depending on the system configuration.
• Components: Includes a mobile stand, stainless steel plates, and BPCs with Readymate connections. 
• Biopharma Asia

This system is widely used in pharmaceutical, biotech, and laboratory environments for aseptic processing.
