Shell & Tube Water Chillers manufactured by us are efficient and compact, requiring only a small footprint and overall height. Maintenance, an important consideration in costs terms, is also fairly minimal. We have based the Shell & Tube Water Chillers on the concept of a large number of tubes formed into what is known as a tube bundle. Refrigerant flowing from the expansion device is passed into the tubes and progressively evaporates thereby producing a cooling effect through the concealed heat of vaporization.

Features:

• The tube bundle is mounted within a steel shell and end caps are fitted to both ends of the shell
• Water is passed over the tubes and gives up heat energy to the surface of the tubes at lower temperature
• The water therefore leaves the shell and tube chiller several degrees lower than the entering water temperature
• This is known as a dry type or direct expansion evaporator
• The water enters the side of the shell at one end and leaves the side of the shell at the other
• Shell and tube chillers are supplied with screwed or flanged water connections
• A drain connection is normally incorporated to allow the water in the shell to be removed.
