                           Tube Bundle Heat Exchangers

Introduction

Tube bundle heat exchangers are primarily suited for heat transfer between various liquids and gases with or without phase change. Excellent results have been obtained using water, thermal oil, wet steam etc. to warm or cool liquids and gases. The standard series consists of 6 sizes with heat transfer surfaces ranging from 0.5 to 500 m2.

Range of application

Tube bundle heat exchangers have a great versatility in their use and are applied in different branches of the industry, e.g.:

• Power station technics
• Machine industry
• Gear manufacturing
• Chemical Industry
• Process engineering

Design and Function

The heat exchangers consist basically of housing and tube bundle. The housing is a welded construction and includes all connecting, joining and fastening elements.

  1. The standard smooth tube bundle to be installed is a two-way model.
  2. The exchanger design variation with U-tubes (U-design),
  3. The variation with the floating tube base (D-design) or with
  4. A fix compensator (K-design), all of them allow for large changes in length between the casing and the tube bundle due to heat expansion.

Materials

The following material combinations are possible (special materials on request):

  • Casing tube:- Steel St37-2, St37-2 galvanised, stainless steel V2A/V4A
  • Lid:- Steel St37-2, St37-2 coated with RILSAN, stainless steel V2A/V4A
  • Cooling tubes:- SF-CU, CuZn20Al, CuNi10Fe, CuNi30Fe, stainless steel V2A/V4A

1.Type G: Tube bundle heat exchanger

Tipo Tube bundle heat exchanger for liquids and gases. Depending on the requirements different materials up to maximum quality stainless steels with high corrosion resistance are used. Also operation over-pressures up to 800 bar are possible. The standard series include 6 sizes with transfer surfaces up to 150m2.

A Tube bundle  heat  exchanger for cooling a medium having a high inlet temperature. Toward the inlet chamber, the annular spaces open into an intermediate chamber limited by the inlet tube bottom and the intermediate tube bottom; in the opposite direction, the annular spaces open into a deflecting or reversing chamber  sealingly  covering the insert tubes.
