En Flow Chemistry, Volume 2: Applications (2nd ed., De Gruyter, 2021) — a textbook edited by leading figures in flow chemistry including Ferenc Darvas, Volker Hessel, and Steven V. Ley — DODGEN’s commercial millimeter-scale zigzag-tube heat exchange equipment is referenced as a real-world industrial example in Chapter 8, “Scale-up of Flow Chemistry System” (pp. 229–258), authored by Prof. Guangsheng Luo’s group at Tsinghua University.
Discussing the numbering-up of reaction tubes for exothermic processes, the authors note that commercialized heat exchangers with millimeter-sized zigzag-shaped tubes can replace coiled tubes, and direct readers to DODGEN’s DSR reactor product page for photographs of such commercial heat exchange tubes (p. 242, Ref. [16]).
Based on static mixing and high-efficiency heat transfer principles, DODGEN’s DSR reactor provides exceptionally large heat-exchange and reaction areas within millimeter-scale zigzag channels, enabling precise control of reaction temperature, concentration, and residence time. It has been industrially applied to heat-sensitive materials, polymerization, and other demanding reaction regimes.
