Product Overview

 

 

The U Tube Type Heat Exchanger adopts a U-shaped tube bundle design, where the heat exchange tubes are bent into a U configuration and fixed on one tube sheet side. This structure allows free thermal expansion without requiring a floating head sealing system, providing a simple structure and reliable pressure resistance.

 

The equipment supports a design pressure range of 0.8~10MPa and operating temperature range of -40℃~400℃. The heat transfer area can reach 2~1000㎡. The shell and tubes can be manufactured using carbon steel, chrome-molybdenum heat-resistant steel, 304 stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, or duplex stainless steel according to application requirements.

 

The tube side is suitable for high-pressure media, while the shell side is designed for cleaner fluids. The removable tube bundle simplifies maintenance. Each unit undergoes independent shell-side and tube-side pressure testing before delivery.

 

The equipment complies with GB151 heat exchanger standards and ASME VIII.1 requirements, with a designed service life of 15~30 years.

Core Advantages

  • U-shaped tube bundle structure eliminates expansion joints and floating seals, reducing leakage points in high-pressure applications.
  • Removable tube bundle design allows convenient cleaning and maintenance of internal tube surfaces.
  • Excellent high-temperature and high-pressure adaptability, suitable for steam recovery and thermal oil systems.
  • Compact structure reduces installation space requirements compared with floating head designs.
