A hairpin design is often more thermally efficient than a traditional shell and tube, which results in a lower up-front cost and lower overall weight. Our experienced designers and engineers can meet any custom cooling requirement.
Removable Bundle Types.
Separated Closure Double Pipe: Type SCDP
Employs the industry’s most widely used separated head features
Shell side and tube side closures are separately bolted through, ideal for applications involving wide temperature or pressure differences between the shell and tube side fluids
In cyclic service, separately gasketed closures are more leak resistant compared to shell and tube designs
Separate shell and tube side seal configuration. This makes the tube bundle easy to remove, clean and replace.
Well suited for large imbalance of flow on shellside
Long fins are used to achieve high thermal performance with minimal pressure drop
Common Closure Hairpin: Type CC
Single bolted closure design. Ideal for applications involving low design temperature or pressure differences between the shell and tube side fluids
Enjoys the maintenance advantages of a Separated Closure Hairpin (Type SC)
The center ring keeps the shell gasket seated during the removal of the tube head for inspection or service
Non-Removable Bundle Types.
All-Welded Hairpin: Type AW
More cost effective design when removable bundle is not required
Fixed tubesheet design
Jacketed Pipe: Type JP
Most economical solution for any heat transfer application
Fixed tubesheet design
