U TUBE BUNDLE

U Tube Heat Exchangers:

We are engaged in providing U Tube Type Heat Exchangers. These heat exchangers are manufactured by the experts in adhere with the international standards. The offered heat exchangers have less pressure drop and lower energy costs. Before the end delivery, U tube heat exchangers are thoroughly checked by the quality analysers on varied parameters to ensure their flawlessness. API Heat Transfer manufactures several variations of these heat exchangers. Both the Type 500 and Hub-Design are available in U-Tube configurations.

Process:

U tube heat exchangers are developed from best grade materials along with the employment of sophisticated technologies in order to integrate them with superior inbuilt protection against damage due to inherent forces occurred at the time of heating and cooling vessel. To optimize the functioning of the exchangers, these are incorporated with tube bundles, shells, baffles, tube sheets and inlet & outlet plenum. This system is highly protected even under extreme thermal cycling, when one bundle is free to float at one end. However, to address the very basic of needs for industrial heating and cooling applications, the Model BWS and BW U-Tube heat exchangers offer highly standardized construction at a very attractive price. The BWS is designed for water-to-steam, while the BW is built for water-to-water service. Two and four pass designs are common because the fluid can enter and exit on the same side. This makes construction much simpler. There are often baffles directing flow through the shell side so the fluid does not take a short cut through the shell side leaving ineffective low flow volumes. These are generally attached to the tube bundle rather than the shell in order that the bundle is still removable for maintenance. Counter current heat exchangers are most efficient and they allow the highest log mean temperature difference between the hot and cold streams.
