by Duty
1.
Heating
Steam-to-water, hot water and glycol loops, thermal fluid, tank and suction heating, and product heating. Steam duty is where the U-bend earns its keep, because the differential temperature is large by definition.
2.
Cooling
Process cooling on tower, chilled or glycol water, and gas cooling where the low gas-side coefficient and the pressure drop budget fight each other.
3.
Condensing & Recovery
Vapor condensing, reflux and column overhead duty, and condensate and feedwater heating. Where noncondensable gas and condensate drainage decide performance more than surface area does.
4.
Sanitary Process
CIP solution heating, pasteurization and HTST, culinary and clean steam, and sanitary product cooling. Duty that has to hit a thermal target and survive an audit at the same time.
Heating, Cooling, Condensing and Sanitary Duty
Most people arrive here describing a job rather than a product. These pages are organized the same way, by what the exchanger has to do, and each one ends at the construction that actually suits it.
Heating, cooling, condensing and sanitary process duty each put a different demand on the bundle. Tell us the fluids, flows, temperatures and pressures and we will say which U-tube construction the duty needs, and which it does not.
Find the Duty You Are Sizing For
The four application groups open in to the duties plant engineers ask about most: Steam-to-Water Heating, Hot Water & Glycol, Thermal Fluid Heating, Tank & Suction Heating, Product Heating, Process Cooling, Gas Cooling, Vapor Condensing, Reflux & Column Overhead, Condensate & Feedwater, CIP Heating, Pasteurization & HTST, Culinary & Clean Steam and Product Cooling. Every duty page states which side each fluid belongs on, what decides the pass count and the bundle material, the installation mistake that shows up most often, and the U-tube constructions normally selected for it.
