Designed for sanitary environments, these exchangers are often used to process food and personal care products, or to heat clean-in-place solutions for sanitary processing lines. Also known as shell and tube heat exchangers, they flow liquid or steam through their outer shell to heat or cool liquid in the inner tubes. Made of 316 stainless steel, they have excellent corrosion resistance. The tubes are removable so they can be sanitized separately from the shell, and their polished interior makes it easy to clean out residue. Connect the tubes to sanitary quick-clamp fittings with a gasket and a clamp.

These exchangers meet 3-A sanitary standards and ASME safety standards for pressure vessels. They’re not for use with extra-thick food, which may clog the tubes. Btu/hr. capacity is based on cooling 185° F water in the tubes with 85° F water in the shell, or heating 85° F water in the tubes with steam in the shell at 15 psi.

Two-pass heat exchangers are commonly used for clean-in-place applications to remove residue from product lines. They have a higher flow rate than four-pass heat exchangers, but transfer heat less efficiently.

Four-pass heat exchangers transfer heat more efficiently than two-pass heat exchangers, with a lower flow rate.

Optional mounting supports cradle heat exchangers above your work surface. They have holes for mounting.
