ARMINDO's Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers: are intended for heating or cooling process fluids. They are, for example, suitable for closed-circuit cooling of electrical equipment using demineralised water and for cooling water soluble oil solutions in quenching tanks.
The shell side usually contains the process fluid and the tube side water from the town mains or a cooling tower, or an ethylene glycol solution from a chiller unit. In certain circumstances this flow arrangement can be reversed, but please consult us first.

CONNECTIONS
Standardized sizes for easy assembly. Additional thread and surface protection for clean installation.
TUBESHEET
U-bend tubes expanded into tubesheet allow for tube expansions and contractions due to thermal fluctuations
GASKETS
High quality compressed fibres (reusable)
HEAD
Standard cast-iron or steel head for heavy duty services (also available as a spare part)

MOUNTING
Saddles attached with standard units for quick & easy mounting
BAFFLES
Punched baffles with minimum clearances between tubes assures correct fluid flow and minimized bypass.
SHELL
Welded shell protected with high quality paint for corrosion resistance
TUBE BUNDLE
Stainless steel tubes allow for strong, durable performance over a wide range of applications. Unique tube bundle layout minimizes buildup problems at the edges and optimizes media flow in the unit.

The Shell and Tube (u-tube) is the most common type of heat exchanger used in the process, petroleum, chemical and HVAC industries, it contains a number of parallel utubes inside a shell. Shell Tube heat exchangers are used when a process requires large amounts of fluid to be heated or cooled. Due to their design, shell tube heat exchangers offer a large heat transfer area and provide high heat transfer efficiency.
There are many different types or designs of shell and tube heat exchangers to meet various process requirements. Shell and Tube heat exchangers can provide steady heat transfer by utilizing multiple passes of one or both fluids. SEC shell and tube heat exchangers come in two (2) and four (4) pass models standard, and multi-pass custom models.
Shell and Tube heat exchangers use baffles on the shell-side fluid to accomplished mixing or turbulence. Without the using of baffles, the fluid become stagnant in certain parts of the shell.
