Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchangers
Applications
Stainless steel tube-in-tube heat exchangers are used in industries such as food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical production, chemical processing, and small-scale HVAC systems. Their compact design and corrosion resistance make them ideal for applications requiring hygienic conditions, precise temperature control, or handling of corrosive fluids, such as pasteurization, cooling of viscous liquids, and chemical reactors.
Sizes & Materials
Our tube-in-tube heat exchangers are constructed from high-quality 316L stainless steel, with options for titanium to handle aggressive fluids like acidic solutions or seawater. Available in sizes tailored for small to medium-scale applications, they operate at pressures up to 600 psi and temperatures from -20°F to 400°F, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of fluids and processes.
Performance and Design
The tube-in-tube design features an inner stainless steel tube within an outer tube, with one fluid flowing through the inner tube and another in the annular space. This configuration promotes efficient heat transfer through counterflow or parallel flow arrangements, with stainless steel ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. The seamless design minimizes maintenance and is ideal for hygienic and corrosive applications.
Complementary Solutions
While tube-in-tube heat exchangers excel in compact and hygienic applications, we also offer brazed plate, plate and frame, and shell and tube designs for specialized needs, such as high-pressure environments or large-scale systems. Our stainless steel tube-in-tube models are the preferred choice for industries requiring reliable, corrosion-resistant heat transfer in smaller footprints.
