Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Premium 316L Stainless Steel Construction: Offers superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and other corrosive chemicals commonly found in reactor cooling loops. Lower carbon content minimizes sensitization during welding, ensuring long service life.
- Optimized 50-Tube Configuration: Provides a large heat transfer surface area while maintaining a compact footprint. The tube layout is designed to reduce fouling and facilitate easy cleaning.
- Rated for 1MPa (10 bar) Operating Pressure: Suitable for moderate to high-pressure cooling applications in chemical reactors, ensuring safety and reliability under standard process conditions.
- Customizable Design: Tube length, shell diameter, baffle spacing, and nozzle orientations can be tailored to match your reactor’s cooling jacket or external loop. Available in flanged or threaded connections.
- Full Penetration Welding: All welds are performed by certified technicians using automated TIG or MIG processes, with optional radiographic or dye-penetrant testing.
- Thorough Quality Assurance: Each exchanger undergoes hydrostatic pressure testing at 1.5 times the design pressure (1.5MPa) and helium leak testing upon request.

Benefits for Your Chemical Reactor Cooling Process
- Enhanced Heat Transfer Efficiency: The 50-tube design with optimized baffle spacing promotes turbulent flow, reducing film resistance and improving overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value).
- Corrosion Resistance Minimizes Downtime: 316L withstands aggressive chemicals such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and chloride-containing solutions, extending maintenance intervals.
- Reliable Performance Under 1MPa: The robust construction ensures safe operation even during pressure fluctuations, protecting your reactor from thermal shock.
- Easy Integration: Compact design allows installation in limited spaces; multiple nozzle orientations adapt to existing piping layouts.
- Customizable for Specific Reactor Designs: Whether you need a vertical or horizontal configuration, we can adjust tube length, shell diameter, and support saddles to match your reactor’s cooling jacket or external circulation loop.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to exotic alloys, 316L offers a balance of performance and affordability, lowering your total cost of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Can this heat exchanger be used with corrosive chemicals other than typical reactor coolants?
A: Yes. 316L stainless steel is suitable for many corrosive media, including dilute sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and organic acids. For highly corrosive environments like hydrochloric acid, we recommend evaluating the specific concentration and temperature; alternatively, we can offer higher-grade alloys (e.g., 904L or Hastelloy) upon request. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for a custom heat exchanger with 50 tubes?
A: Standard lead time is 30–45 days after order confirmation, depending on complexity and current production load. Expedited delivery may be available for urgent projects. -
Q: Do you provide thermal performance data (e.g., heat transfer area, U-value)?
A: Yes. We perform thermal calculations based on your process conditions (flow rates, inlet/outlet temperatures, fluid properties). We can provide a detailed datasheet including surface area, LMTD, and estimated U-value for your approval before manufacturing. -
Q: Can the heat exchanger be designed for vertical installation?
A: Absolutely. We offer both vertical and horizontal configurations. Vertical designs are common for minimizing footprint and facilitating natural drainage. Please specify your preference during inquiry. -
Q: What certifications or quality documentation do you supply?
A: We provide a material test certificate (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1, hydrostatic test report, and welding procedure qualification records (WPQR). Our factory is ISO9001 certified, and we can also comply with ASME VIII Div.1 (U-stamp) at additional cost. -
Q: How do you ensure the cleanliness of the tubes for pharmaceutical or food-grade applications?
A: For applications requiring high cleanliness, we offer electropolishing and passivation, followed by bagging and sealing. We also provide certification of surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) if required. -
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for this 316L heat exchanger?
A: Standard design temperature range is -20°C to +200°C. For higher temperatures up to 400°C, we can adjust the material thickness and gasket selection. Please consult our engineering team for specific thermal requirements. -
Q: Can you supply spare tubes or tube bundles for future replacement?
A: Yes, we can provide spare tube bundles or individual tubes with the same specifications. We recommend ordering a spare set during initial procurement to avoid production delays.
