| Effective heat transfer means saving money. Highly efficient heat exchangers are small, require a minimum amount of space and are cost efficient per square foot of heat transfer area. In order to achieve these objectives in heat transfer the turbulent flow inside and outside the heat exchanger surfaces must be controlled. This requires a high degree of versatility and flexibility in the design and manufacturing process. No pre-designed or pre-manufactured heat exchanger can meet this criteria. Only custom-designed tubular heat exchangers can achieve this efficient heat transfer.
The flexibility in design and manufacturing of these tubular in-tank heat exchangers guarantees a good fit for existing and new systems. You will not have to design a system to accommodate a pre-designed heat exchanger.
In summary, tubular in-tank heat exchangers provide the user with the following advantages:
- Virtual guarantee of turbulent flow inside the heat exchanger tubes.
- Excellent free and forced convection heat transfer outside the heat exchanger tubes.
- Design features that reduce corrosion.
- Guarantee of unrestricted mixing of solutions inside tanks.
- High degree of flexibility in design and physical configurations.
- Available in a wide selection of highly conductive metals.
- Low cost per square foot of heat transfer area.
- Ease of installation, maintenance, and repair.
For general information, coil selection charts have been provided inside the headings of U-Coils, Serpentine Coils and Grid Coils. Coils shown on these charts are standard sizes; however, as outlined, all dimensions and configurations can be modified and adjusted to accommodate specific and individual requirements.
