Series HX-600 Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger
VQ-HX600
Fixed tube sheet shell-and-tube exchanger in stainless steel, for liquid-to-liquid and steam-to-liquid duty on process and utility systems.
- SURFACE
- 2 to 60 m²
- SHELL
- DN150 to DN500
- DESIGN PRESSURE
- 10 bar shell, 16 bar tube
- TEMPERATURE
- to +200 °C
Why it is specified
Quoted against a thermal calculation rather than an area. Send the two streams, their flows and their inlet temperatures and the selection comes back with the surface, the pressure drop on both sides and the fouling allowance that was assumed, which is the figure most arguments are actually about.
Typical applications
- Glycol loop interchange
- Heat recovery between streams
- Process cooling with tower water
- Sample coolers
- Steam heating of process liquids
Options and executions
- Duplex 1.4462 tubes for chloride-bearing water
- Insulation and cladding
- Material certificates to EN 10204 3.1
- Removable bundle with a floating head
- Thermal performance calculation issued with the quotation
- U-tube bundle for a higher temperature difference

CP-150
Single-stage, back pull-out end-suction pump to EN 733, for clean and lightly loaded liquids in process, cooling and transfer duty.
MD-80
Close-coupled sealless centrifugal pump with a synchronous magnetic coupling, for aggressive, toxic and expensive media where a dynamic seal is not acceptable.
GV-200
Top-guided single-seat globe valve with a multi-spring diaphragm actuator and a digital positioner, for modulating control on liquid, gas and steam.
BF-300
Wafer and lugged resilient-seated butterfly valve with a moulded liner, bi-directional and bubble tight to the full rating, for isolation on water, air and neutral media.
