Separate welded channels
Alternating channels keep the fluids separated by the formed metal plates. Heat passes through the plate walls.

Maximum envelope: A × A × B. A defines the two plan dimensions; B is the overall height. This schematic identifies the dimension directions.
Reference dimensions only. Confirm nozzle positions, support details, service clearances and final dimensions against the approved order drawing.
DESIGN & SELECTION
Specify the duty.
Complete the configuration.
Share both fluids, flow rates, inlet and outlet temperatures, allowable pressure drop and design conditions. Material, nozzle and pass selections follow these inputs.
Access for maintenance
Removable side panels open access to the welded core for inspection and cleaning. Plan access space around the unit.
Explore construction ↗Project documentation
Request the selected datasheet, general arrangement drawing and applicable quality documents with your proposal.

PROCESS DUTY & MAINTENANCE
Specify HEXCBLOC 15 for the actual service.
Refinery, petrochemical and chemical duties
Assess heating, cooling and heat recovery, or a selected condensation or reboiler duty, using both fluid specifications and the complete operating range.
Refinery selection requirementsFouling and mechanical cleaning
Channel and pass selection must balance heat transfer, pressure drop and expected deposits. The exchanger is not fouling-proof. Removable panels provide access for inspection and suitable mechanical cleaning.
Plan cleaning and inspectionSteam and phase-change service
Provide phase-change pressure, vapour conditions and drainage requirements. Material, seal and flow-arrangement suitability require confirmation for the selected model and duty.
Steam condenser assessmentSend Your Process Data for Heat Exchanger Selection
Provide both fluids, flow rates, inlet and outlet temperatures, operating and design pressures, allowable pressure drop and material requirements. For a replacement, include the nameplate and arrangement drawing.
