Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers
Applications
Stainless steel shell and tube heat exchangers are used in a wide range of industries, including chemical processing, oil and gas, HVAC systems, power generation, and marine applications. Their robust design makes them suitable for handling high-pressure fluids, corrosive media, and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in both industrial and commercial settings.
Sizes & Materials
Our shell and tube heat exchangers are constructed from high-quality 316L stainless steel, with options for titanium or other alloys to handle aggressive fluids like seawater or acidic solutions. Available in sizes ranging from compact units for HVAC systems to large industrial models with capacities up to thousands of tons, they operate at pressures up to 1,500 psi and temperatures from -320°F to 900°F.
Performance and Design
The shell and tube design features a bundle of stainless steel tubes within a cylindrical shell, allowing efficient heat transfer between fluids. The configuration supports turbulent flow for enhanced thermal efficiency and can be customized for specific pressure and temperature requirements. These units are built for durability, with corrosion-resistant materials ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments.
Complementary Solutions
While shell and tube heat exchangers excel in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, we also offer brazed plate, plate-and-frame, and tube-in-tube designs for specialized needs, such as compact systems or clean fluid applications. Our stainless steel shell and tube models remain the preferred choice for demanding industrial processes requiring robust, corrosion-resistant solutions.
