Shell and Tube heat exchangers are commonly used in heating or cooling process fluids and gases. Typically found in applications where need to heat or cool large volumes exist, however, small volume applications are also common.
Shell and tube heat exchangers come in many variations to meet proves requirements for almost every application or industry. They deliver reliable heat transfer performance by utilizing a high turbulence and counter flow, making one or more passes. One (1), two (2) and four (4) pass models are standard, custom multi-pass model of any are available.

Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers
1. CONNECTIONS: Standardized sizes for easy assembly. Additional thread and surface protection for clean installation.
2. TUBESHEET: U-bend tubes expanded into tubesheet allow for tube expansions and contractions due to thermal fluctations.
3. GASKETS: High quality compressed fibers (reusable).
4. HEAD: Standard cast-iron or steel head for heavy duty services (also available as a spare part).
5. MOUNTING: Saddles attached with standard units for quick & easy mounting.
6. BAFFLES: Punched baffles with minimum clearances between tubes assure correct fluid flow and minimized bypass.
7. SHELL: Welded shell protection with high quality paint for corrosion resistance.
8. TUBE BUNDLE: Stainless steel tubes allow for strong, durable performance over a wide range of applications. Unique tube bundle layout minimizes buildup problems at the edges and optimizes media flow in the units.
