In some applications, conventional Shell and Tube Exchangers
may not be the best solution. For those applications, Twisted
Tube
Heat
Exchangers offer a better alternative by providing:
Koch Heat Transfer's (formerly Brown Fintube) innovative Twisted Tube ® Design avoids the need for
baffles. The unique helix shaped tubes are arranged in a triangular pattern.
Each tube is firmly and frequently supported by adjacent tubes, yet fluid
swirls freely along its length. This support system eliminates tube vibration,
which is a common problem in some heat exchanger services.
The twist arrangement for baffle-free support with gaps aligned between the
tubes also provides for easier cleaning on the shellside. Twisted Tube heat
exchangers also have the highest heat transfer coefficient of all tubular heat
exchangers.
While s
imilar to traditional Shell and Tube Exchangers, a Twisted Tube Bundle
can be installed in an existing conventional shell,
providing
the same benefits
as listed above.
Typical Applications:
- CRU Combined Feed
- Hydrotreater Feed / Effluent
- Rich / Lean Amine
Sour Water Feed
- Quench Water Coolers
- Kettle Reboilers
- Overhead Condensers
