Heat Exchangers

Shell & Tube: "U" Bend ASME Code Construction

Standard Features
Double Wall Tube Heat Exchangers
A double wall unit consists of regular "U" Tube heads and shells. The conversion to a double wall unit requires a tube bundle with double wall tubing and tube sheets. Sizes are 4" to 26" diameter with lengths 24" to 120". All standards and options available for heads and shells can be applied to a double wall unit. The following are the options available for a double wall tube bundle.

Tube Sheets
Carbon steel (standard)

304 or 316 stainless steel (optional)

Double Wall Tubing
.040" Copper inner tube .062" Copper outer tube (standard)

.040" 90/10 Cupro-Nickel inner tube .040" 90/10 Cupro-Nickel outer tube (optional) Tank Heater Units
Tank heater unit sizes are 4" to 20" diameter with 24" to 120" lengths. Standard tank heaters are constructed in accordance to ASME requirements for the same pressure and temperature ratings as the "U" Tube Heat Exchangers. A Manufacturer's  Data Report for Pressure Vessels Form No. U-1 is available upon request.
All options available for "U" tube heat exchangers can be applied to tank heaters.
