API 660 Floating Head Heat Exchanger: High-Efficiency Thermal Solution for Industrial Applications

Core Advantages

1. Thermal Stress Relief: The floating head allows free expansion/contraction of the tube bundle, preventing deformation and leakage even under extreme temperature fluctuations (up to 600°C).
2. Easy Maintenance: Removable tube bundles enable convenient cleaning, inspection, and replacement, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
3. High Efficiency: Optimized tube layout (triangular/square pitch) and enhanced shell-side flow design maximize heat transfer coefficient (U-value: 150–3000 W/(m²·K)).
4. Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of fluids (liquids, gases, vapors) and operating conditions (pressure: up to 10 MPa), with customizable materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, Hastelloy, titanium) for corrosive environments.
5. Energy-Saving Design: Minimized pressure drop and efficient heat recovery help lower energy consumption and operational costs.
