Know About Heat Exchange

Tubes before Using Them


A heat exchanger tube is used to transfer heat efectively and is an
efcient way to conserve energy. It is most commonly used in oil
refneries, aerospace, nuclear and power as well as other large chemical
processes and is suited for higher-pressure applications. A number of
tubes comprise of a bundle placed inside a shell that makes up for the
entire heat echanger. !ince the oil and gas industry is rapidly growing,
global energy demand is also steadily increasing particularly in growing
economies around the world. All these factors has led to a new phase in
developing challenges
!uch bulky stock is always manufactured by cutting edge technology and
its distribution is e"ually priotri#ed. $eaming with an agile partner able
to tailor products to suit uni"ue re"uirements provides one with a single
source of tube solutions. $hat helps minimi#e the potential risk factors if
faced when working with a less manageable supply chain. Any break down
in this machinery could cause a loss to the plant. %very second is valuable
in a large feld. &or all these reasons its best to choose heat exchanger
tubes by leading distributors.
Cold drawn seamless tube is the second level of cold working tubes to
reduce their si#e. It ofers uniform tolerance, enhanced machinability and
increased strength and easiness compared to hot-rolled products. $he cold
drawing process increases the tube's physical properties and ofers better
tolerances and reduced machining allowances over hot fnish seamless.
$hey are e"uipped with diferent tools so they can perform diferent types
of cold drawing such as sink drawing, plug drawing and rod drawing.
$hese seamless tubes are designed with many benefts. !ince they are
cold drawn, they have a superior surface fnish. $heir dimensional
accurate and ecellent micro structure is uniform. $hey have high strength
to the weight ratio and also, its tight tolerances helps reduce machine
time making it ideal for large scale industrial use as well as for automotive
and other similar industries.
(ost sales service is e"ually important for customers to ensure proper
functioning of their respective plants as any idle time results in loss of
production. )outine maintenance is re"uired to keep the machine in
smooth working condition. !ediment built up and scale are the ma*or
hindrances to these tubes. +one the less, it is easy to clean up the residue
with the many cleaning technology available like high pressure water
heat echanger tubes, cold drawn seamless tube
blasting, li"uid nitrogen cleaning system etc. $he distributor should have
etensive eperience with repairs and replacements of eisting heat
echangers and components and readily be available to sort any such
issues when they arise.
,esides, an emergency toll free number should be available for customers
to call, in case of any crisis. $he helpline number will ensure that the
customer is reached in time by the distributor-s team and if any need be
for replacements within warranty period should be replaced or fed.
.eeping all these advantages in mind, it is best to consult a leading
distributor before the purchase or installation of such versatile tubes.
