Exergy Sanitary Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers

Exergy Sanitary Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers provide compact, high-performance heating and cooling for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other high-purity processes. Product-contact surfaces feature a maximum finish of 20 µin (0.5 µm) Ra, with optional electropolishing to 15 µin (0.38 µm) Ra or better. Single- and double-tubesheet configurations are available, with double-tubesheet designs helping reduce the risk of cross-contamination between product and utility fluids.

Key Features

  • High Heat Transfer Capacity: Supports heat transfer rates up to 5,000,000 BTU/hr (1,465 kW).
  • High Flow and Pressure Ratings: Accommodates liquid flow rates up to 250 GPM (946 LPM) and pressures up to 1,500 psi (104 bar).
  • Compact, Space-Efficient Design: Delivers substantial heat transfer performance within a relatively small footprint.
  • Hygienic Product-Contact Surfaces: Standard product-contact surfaces have a maximum finish of 20 µin (0.5 µm) Ra.
  • Optional Electropolishing: Surface finishes can be improved to 15 µin (0.38 µm) Ra or better for demanding high-purity applications.
  • Cross-Contamination Protection: Available with single- or double-tubesheet construction to match process requirements.
  • Fully Drainable Tube Side: Designed to support effective draining and hygienic operation.
  • Clean-in-Place Capability: Compatible with clean-in-place processes for more efficient system cleaning.
