Shell and Tube

Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers

Shell and tube heat exchangers are most commonly used in water-only heat exchange applications, like heating hot tubs, spas, and pools in conjunction with a boiler. These very efficient heat exchangers can also be used in cooling applications for cooling (or even heating) greenhouse irrigation water including plant nutrient solutions, and industrial process chilling/heating with chemicals as well as food products.

There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to using shell and tube heat exchangers, and it is very important to understand how they relate to your specific application. For instance, our units are made from corrosion resistant materials (316L grade stainless steel, or titanium) in order to provide the greatest long term performance and unit longevity, but obviously the more corrosive chemicals/materials you use with your heat exchanger will cause internal corrosion build-up, and may eventually lead to unit failure. So be sure not to exceed recommended levels of pH and plan for more frequent cleaning and maintenance in order to keep your unit operating with optimal efficiency.

Torpedo - 3 to 10 Ton Titanium & PVC Chiller Barrel Heat Exchanger (DX)

Our Torpedo Titanium & PVC barrel chiller heat exchangers are most commonly used in salt water applications for pools, aquariums, and stock tanks. But the very corrosion resistant materials of this design can be used just about anywhere.

Stainless Steel Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers

Our line of shell and tube heat exchangers come in a wide range of cooling capacities, from 1 Ton to 100 Ton. These units are sized specifically for our ChillX and Chillking line of water chillers, and provide the best combination of affordability, reliability, and efficiency. Among the most important differentiators of these shell and tube heat exchangers, include: 316L grade stainless steel and all welded construction, helix tubing, and large ports for maximum flow.

Titanium Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers (Opposing-Side & Same-Side)

Just like our line of stainless steel shell and tube heat exchangers our titanium models also come in a wide range of cooling capacities from 1 Ton to 25 Ton, and heating capacities from 4 to 375 Ton! Our titanium heat exchangers are fully constructed with titanium shell and corrugated titanium interior tubes, ensuring adequate turbulence and avoiding inefficient laminar flows. These heat exchangers are sized and optimized specifically for our ChillX and Chillking line of glycol chillers, and offer the best available corrosion resistance for greatest longevity.
