Heat Exchange

Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers

Bundles and shells built to the duty in front of them, pressure tested before they leave the workshop.

Part of our Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger service line — we supply, install and maintain it, not just sell it.

Overview

What it does.

A shell and tube exchanger is the workhorse of process heat transfer because it scales, tolerates pressure, and can be opened. That last point decides more selections than the first two: a bundle that can be withdrawn is a bundle that can be cleaned, and a fouling service that cannot be cleaned is a service that fails.

We build to the duty rather than to a catalogue size — tube count, pass arrangement, baffle spacing and material selected against flow, pressure drop and the fouling the fluid will actually carry.

Re-tubing an existing shell is often the better economics. If the shell is sound, replacing the bundle restores the duty for a fraction of a new unit, and the connections still line up with the pipework.

Air-cooled condenser with a V-form finned coil block, top-mounted fans and copper return bends

Air-Cooled Condensers

Air-cooled condensers for sites where water is scarce or treatment is impractical. Coil face and fan selection are sized against Saudi summer ambient, not a temperate design day.

Dry cooler with twin axial fans on the end face, a finned coil and copper return bends in a galvanised frame

Dry Coolers

Dry coolers for closed-loop process and comfort cooling — heat rejected to ambient with no evaporative loss, no make-up water and no water treatment to maintain.

Industrial radiator core in a steel frame with flanged connections on both sides and a copper finned matrix

Process Radiators

Finned-tube radiators and cooling blocks for engine, generator and process duty. Built to the existing core dimensions so a replacement drops into the frame the old one came out of.
