About the Heat Exchanger

Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers

Shell and tube heat exchangers are commonly used for the transfer of heat in industrial
process applications. They are available in a variety of diameters and lengths. The U-tube
heat exchangers are designed for a wide range of liquid to liquid and steam to liquid
applications.

The s hell and tube heat exchanger is constructed using copper tubes and a carbon steel
shell. It is manufactured using the most advanced technology available and is specifically
engineered for a wide range of applications. Every unit is designed, manufactured and tested
to meet the quality requirements of the ASME code: Section VIII Division #1 and ISO
9002.

Features

 U-tube construction
 Units designed for liquid to liquid and steam to liquid applications.
 Strong, durable construction with copper steel tubes and rugged cast- iron or steel head
in standard units. (Optional materials are available).
 Coil and baffle arrangements designed to maximize heat transfer performance.
 Tubes expanded into stationary tubesheet allow for tube expansions and contractions,
due to thermal fluctuations, without causing stresses on the joints. Welding tubes to
the tubesheet is optional.

Advantages

The advantage of the shell and tube design cannot be ignored. Each unit comes with:

 U-bend tubes expanded into a tubesheet which allow for tube expansions and
contractions due to thermal fluctuations.
 Gaskets that are made for high pressurised heat.
 A standard cast-iron or steel head for heavy duty services.
 Saddle attaches which make for quick and easy mounting.
 Baffles attached with minimal clearances between tubes guaranteeing correct fluid
flow and minimized bypass.
 A welded shell protected with high quality paint for corrosion resistance.
  Copper / steel tubes which allow for strong, durable performance over a wide range of
applications. Unique tube bundle layout minimizes deposit buildup at the edges and
optimises media flow for high velocity flow turbulence.

Applications

Shell and tube heat exchangers are frequently selected for such applications as:

 Process liquid or gas cooling / heating

 Process or refrigerant vapour or steam condensing
 Process liquid, steam or refrigerant evaporation
 Process heat removal and preheating of feed water / tanks
 Thermal energy conservation efforts, heat recovery
 Compressor, turbine and engine cooling, oil and jacket water
 Hydraulic and lube oil cooling / heating

Shell and tube heat exchangers have been around for over many years. Their thermal
technology and manufacturing methods are well defined and applied by the modern
manufacturer. Tube surfaces range from standard to exotic metals with plain or enhanced
surface characteristics. They can help p rovide the least costly mechanical design for the
flows, liquids and temperatures involved.
