Stainless Steel Tube Bundle for Regenerator Reboiler,Oil Cooler
Tube bundles go inside the shell of a heat exchanger. This is the part that fails the most often as the tubes can be vulnerable to corrosion and failure. The average tube bundle uses water that is heated by steam or other fluids in the shell.
A majority the time we can duplicate your tube bundle based of the model number alone. in the rare case, we may need some pictures and dimensions of this bundle to determine how many passes it has and the nominal width and length. We recommend using one of our blank drawings in the field for recording exact measurements,Knowing the steam and water pressure as well as the consistency of the fluids is very important when buying a replacement bundle. This determines the type of materials that should be used.
Design and fabrication capabilities for tube bundles include:
U-tube or straight tube (fixed tubesheet or floating tubesheet)
Enhanced tube, low-fin, lo-fin, integral tube bundles (U-tube or straight tube)
Tank heater tube bundles
Fuel oil heater tube bundles
Double wall vented tube bundles
Standard and specialty alloys
Heads and bonnets
Tank collars and nozzles
Common use material for Tube Bundle Heat Exchanger
There are two different of tube bundles: Straight tubes and U tubes. Depending on specific requirement and application, there are following tube material options:

Straight Tube Bundle vs. U Tube Bundle
Both types of tube bundles have their own advantages and applications depending on factors like maintenance requirements, cost considerations, and operating conditions. The choice between straight tube and U tube bundles often depends on specific needs and priorities of the heat exchanger system.
Applications
Tube bundles are used in a wide range of applications where heat transfer is required. Some common applications include:
- HVAC systems
- Chemical processing
- Oil and gas refining
- Power generation
- Food and beverage processing
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
