Water-cooled shell and tube heat exchangers make up the backbone of the heat transfer industry. With a time-tested design, these units are an essential aspect of many industrial processes. Common materials selected include copper or stainless steel for tubing, brass or steel shells, and a myriad of other options which allow for use in a range of applications.
Industries served include power generation, hydraulic cooling, engine cooling, compressed air cooling, oil and gas production, and many more. The adaptability of these versatile exchangers is what has made them the go-to choice for process engineers for decades.
Our industrial heat exchangers are built to last in some of the most demanding process environments out there.
Sea and brackish water applications require special considerations to ensure the best materials and design are chosen for the heat exchanger to extend its service life. Being corrosive, sea water applications typically call for copper-nickel to be used on all tube side contact surfaces, along with the addition of bronze end bonnets and zinc anodes.
