Features and Benefits

SUPERIOR CHEMICAL RESISTANCE:

• All tube-side parts are fluoropolymer and compatible with most chemistries for virtually unlimited process options.  Shell is available in polypropylene (standard) or PVDF construction.

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION:

• Thick wall, welded construction provides extremely long service life.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE:

• Heavy wall, large diameter tubing improves circulation and minimizes pressure drop.

LEAK-FREE OPERATION:

• Integral inlet/outlet for single point fluid connections simplifies installation and greatly reduces the potential for chemical leaks.

COMPACT SIZE:

• Less surface area required for same BTU exchange compared to most other fluoropolymer exchangers.

CONSULT FACTORY FOR THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS:

• ¼-inch (6.4mm) to ¾-inch (19mm) Super Pillar 300 Type® connections
• Custom sizes based on application
• PVDF shell
• Vacuum breakers are recommended for steam heating applications. Please consult factory for reduced pressure steam applications. Pulsation dampeners recommended.
