Description
A series of internal tubes carry one medium, while the outside casing, or shell, contains another. Heat is transferred between the two. Pre-engineered components allow for a variety of combinations of materials, shell sizes, tube layouts and nozzles sizes and orientations that fit your specific application.
Application
- To heat or cool oil, water, chemical or hydrocarbon fluids, electrolyte, condensate, brine, boiler blowdown, hydraulic oils/fluids, turbine and compressor oils/fluids, process fluids, or condensing process steam or vapor.
- Used for auxiliary machinery, turbine engines, refrigeration machines, compressors, auxiliary generator drives, pump or blower drives, and lasers.
Features and Benefits
- Removable tube types allow for easy repair or cleaning.
- Allows for differential thermal expansion between the shell and the tubes, and sometimes between individual tubes.
- Provides multi-tube pass arrangements.
- Special tube or shell materials allow for high corrosion or chemical resistance.
