Non API technology basics
Mainly based on a Heat exchange surface made of small diameter tubes (up to 15 mm diam) mechanically expanded in common plain fins
Tube
Material: Seamless, Copper, CuNi or stainless steel (304 L and 316 L)
Fin
Materials: Aluminium, Epoxy coated Aluminium, Aluminium +Magnesium 2.5 or 3, Copper
Header
Material: Copper, Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel (304 L and 316 L)Main
type: Cylindrical or removable (boxes)
Mainly used for Water, demineralized water, Water+ glycol mixture, Lubrication oil, dielectric oil and refrigeration fluids
Limit of use: 120°C skin T° / 15 bar design pressure
Designed according to AD 2000 Merkblatt code
Possibility of U-Stamp and of compliance with ASME section VIII when applicable
For the same Duty:
- Similar Footprint
- Similar electrical consumption
- Total weight divided by 3
- Delivery time divided by 2 (mini)
- Cheaper transportation costs
- Onsite Erection time divided by 3
- Price reduction: 25% mini
