Heat exchangers
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers and condensers, sized to the thermal duty and built to TEMA, with pressure parts designed to ASME Section VIII Division 1.
- TEMA classes R, C and B
- ASME VIII Div 1
- Shell-and-tube
What we build
Configured for the duty, the fluids and how often the bundle will need cleaning.
Fixed-tubesheet exchangers
A simple, economical design where the shell-side fluid is clean and temperature differences are moderate.
U-tube exchangers
Tubes free to expand, for large temperature differences, with a bundle that can be removed.
Floating-head exchangers
Removable bundles that can be pulled out for mechanical cleaning.
Condensers
Process and vent condensers for distillation, solvent recovery and reactor overheads.
Coolers and heaters
Process coolers and heaters using water, steam, thermic fluid or brine.
Gas coolers
Coolers that bring process gas down to temperature ahead of separation or further treatment.
Design and construction
Defined by your datasheet and the applicable code.
- Thermal design
- Sized to your process duty, the fluids and the allowable pressure drop.
- Mechanical design
- TEMA classes R, C and B; pressure parts to ASME Section VIII Division 1.
- Tube-to-tubesheet joints
- Expanded, or expanded and welded, as the service requires.
- Materials
- Shells in carbon or stainless steel; tubes in stainless steel, carbon steel or other alloys to suit the fluids.
- Configuration
- Single or multiple tube passes, with baffles arranged for the shell-side duty.
Testing and documentation
Recorded as the work progresses and handed over with the equipment.
- Hydrostatic test of the shell side and the tube side
- Pneumatic or leak testing where specified
- Material test certificates, welding records and test certificates
- Final data book
Applications
Built for chemical and specialty chemical plants; pharmaceutical and API plants; sugar, distillery and ethanol plants; and oil, gas and petrochemical projects.
