Large radius U-bends

The free-floating U-tube bundle compensates for the differential shell-tube expansion and eliminates the need for expansion joints or packed joints commonly used in shell & tube type heat exchangers. Large radius U-bends are easily cleaned with flexible shaft tube cleaners.

The mechanical advantage

  1. Separate tubesheets: Handle high temperature differences and cycling more effectively than shell-and-tube exchangers.
  2. Durable baffle cage construction: Welded to the tie rods without the need for “sleeves” or internal nuts.
  3. Moveable support brackets: Allow shell expansion and contraction and eliminate the need for sliding plates commonly used for fixed supports. Our brackets are slotted for anchor bolts on all four sides for flexibility in installation, and the ability to add sections in the future.
  4. Patented closure technology: Suits your specific design needs (click here for details).
  5. Tubeside and shellside connections are the on the same end: Easy installation and piping.
  6. No internal bolting!
  7. Double-pipe exchangers: Use pipe in lieu of thin wall tubing to enhance integrity.
