Shell and tube heat exchangers
Individually sized tube bundle heat exchangers in stainless steel or titanium - robust, easy to maintain, calculated to VDI Heat Atlas.
- Individually sized to your requirements according to VDI Heat Atlas
- Stainless steel or titanium - also for corrosive media
- Tube bundles made of U-tubes or straight, continuous tubes
- Welded, expanded or combined tube-to-tubesheet joints
We offer shell and tube heat exchangers - also known as tube bundle heat exchangers - in stainless steel or titanium. The tubes are welded or expanded into the tubesheet; for increased requirements they are first expanded and then additionally welded. Tube bundles are manufactured from U-tubes or straight, continuous tubes.
Design and sizing
The shell side is equipped with segmental baffles or disc-and-doughnut baffles to guide the secondary medium. Every heat exchanger is sized individually to your requirements according to the VDI Heat Atlas - from compact units to customer-specific special formats.
