Heating and cooling with water or water-glycol in systems with a low operating pressure, where the unit should be able to open.
The unit can be opened at the bolted flange rings at both ends of the shell. If a medium carries solids or fouls heavily, please mention it in your enquiry: that is what the fully dismountable type is for, or we recommend a filter upstream of the unit.
Design and limits
A tube coil of plain stainless steel tube in a shell of large diameter, flanged connections on the tube and shell side. Bolted flange rings at both ends of the shell allow the unit to be opened.
| Type designation | SC-N |
|---|---|
| Operating temperature | up to 160 °C |
| Operating pressure | up to 6 bar |
| Connections | Flanges on tube and shell side |
| Tubes | plain |
| Dismountable | partly |
The limits do not necessarily apply at the same time. The sizing and the quote are binding.
Strengths
- Opens at the bolted flange rings at both ends of the shell
- Large shell, also for high duties
- Flanges on the tube and shell side
Limits
- Lower operating pressure than the welded ranges and the partly dismountable type
- Lower temperature limit than the high-temperature and the partly dismountable type
- Plain tubes only, no profiled version
- The configurator does not size it itself; our team does
Pressure and temperature limits
The types differ in their temperature and pressure limits. The table above gives the values for this type; the comparison shows all types side by side.
The limits do not necessarily apply at the same time. This type is sized by our team, not by the configurator. Operating pressure and material are fixed in the quote.
Materials
Shell, tube coil and nozzles are made of stainless steel 1.4307 or 1.4404, flanges, where fitted, of painted steel or stainless steel. The quote fixes which material fits.
The hot medium flows through the tube coil, the cold one through the shell. The coil absorbs the different thermal expansion of tube and shell.
Sized by our team
The low-pressure type is not in the configurator's calculation catalogue, so it does not propose it on its own. If you need it, describe your duty in the configurator anyway and name the type in the “Application, particulars” field. Our team sizes it and comes back with a quote.
Its maximum operating pressure is lower than that of the welded ranges; the table above gives the value. For higher pressure with the same ability to open, the partly dismountable type is the one to choose.
