S A M P L E CO N D I T I O N I N G
A spiral tube heat exchanger is a coil assembly fitted in a compact shell that optimizes
heat transfer efficiency and space. Every Sentry® spiral assembly has welded tube to
manifold joints for durability and strength. The coil assembly is welded to a head and
fitted in a compact shell. The spaces or gaps between the coils of the spiral tube
bundle become the shell side flow path.
Typical applications include:
Pump seal coolers
Sample coolers
Inter/after coolers
Acid heaters/coolers
Instant hot water heaters
Process condensers
MODELS
Varied
BENEFITS
The spiral shape of the flow for the tubeside and shellside fluids creates centrifugal
force and secondary circulating flow that enhances the heat transfer on both sides in
a true counterflow arrangement. Since there are a variety of multiple parallel tube
configurations (diameter, number and length), efficiency is not compromised by
limited shell diameter sizes as it can be with shell and tube designs.
The profile of a spiral is compact and fits in a smaller footprint than a shell and tube
design. Since the tube bundle is coiled, space requirements for tube bundle removal
are significantly reduced.
When exotic material is required, a spiral tube heat exchanger minimizes the material
used since manifolds replace the channels, heads and tubesheets of a conventional
shell and tube design. The shell side is usually smaller than a comparable shell and
tube design and there are no requirements for tube supports or pass dividers.
