Description

Exchanger Type:

  • U-Tube
  • Removable Floating Bundle

Materials

  • Shell: Fabricated Carbon Steel with Stainless options
  • TubesSheets: Fabricated Carbon Steel with Stainless, 90/10 CuNi and Brass options
  • Tubes: Copper with option for Stainless Steel, 90/10 or 70/30 CuNi
  • Bonnets: Cast Iron with Cast Stainless Steel 316 and Cast Bronze options
  • Feet & Bolting: Carbon Steel

Advantages :

  • Allows for differential thermal expansion between shell and tubes as well as between individual tubes.
  • Capable of withstanding thermal shock.
  • All welded rugged carbon steel shell side construction provides maximum durability.
  • Provides maximum heat transfer surface area per given shell and tube size
  • Easily interchangeable with designs of various manufacturers.
  • SX2000U utilizes compact 3⁄8” OD tubes for compact selections. Pre-engineered units 4” thru 12” shell diameters.
  • B300 utilizes larger 3⁄4“ OD tubes to handle wide range of fluids. Shell diameters from 4” to 30” OD.
  • Available in 2, 4 or 6 pass arrangements to optimize performance requirements.
  • ASME Section VIII Div. 1 “U” Stamp as standard.

Limitations :

  • Individual tube replacement not always possible.
  • Cannot be made single-pass on tube side, so true counter current flow not possible.
  • Tube side can be cleaned by chemical means only.
