Fixed Tube Exchangers

Fixed tube sheet heat exchangers offer robust and efficient performance, ideal for applications requiring minimal maintenance and cost effective construction.

  • Structure and Design: These heat exchangers feature a design where the tube sheets are welded or roller expanded directly to the tube sheet, providing a well-sealed and robust construction.
  • Simplified Maintenance: The fixed tube sheet design allows for easy inspection and cleaning of the inside of the tubes, as they are straight and do not have a bend to contend with.
  • Cost-Effective: With fewer parts and simpler construction compared to other designs, fixed tube sheet heat exchangers often come at a lower cost, making them an economical choice.
  • Limited Thermal Expansion: One limitation is that fixed tube sheet designs do not accommodate thermal expansion between the shell and the tubes, which can be a drawback in applications with significant temperature variations.
  • Customization Options: Fixed tube sheet heat exchangers can be customized in terms of size, tube length, and number of passes to meet the specific needs of different industrial processes.
  • Material Flexibility: They can be constructed from a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and other alloys, to meet specific process requirements and corrosion resistance needs.
