Frequently Asked Questions
A Double Pipe Heat Exchanger is an industrial heat exchanger in which one fluid flows inside the tube and the other circulates on the shell side to transfer heat. The tube bundle and shell structure withstand high pressure and temperature conditions; it is common in steam condensation and process heating applications.
It delivers reliable performance at high operating pressure and temperature; preferred for steam, condensate, and aggressive shell-side fluids. In-tube cleaning and individual tube replacement are possible. Although larger than plate heat exchangers, it provides a long-life solution under heavy industrial conditions.
Tubes are manufactured from AISI 304/316 stainless steel, carbon steel, or duplex; the shell from carbon steel or stainless. Copper-nickel, titanium, or special alloy tubes can be used depending on the application. Material selection is based on fluid corrosion and design pressure.
It is used in power plants, refining and petrochemical, food pasteurization, steam systems, marine, HVAC central units, and waste heat recovery projects. Steam condenser, economizer, and recuperator applications belong to this family.
It recovers heat from waste steam, exhaust gas, and process outlets, reducing fuel consumption. It operates stably at high temperature differences and increases system COP and efficiency in central piping and industrial boiler circuits.
Fluid flow rates, inlet-outlet temperatures, phase condition (steam/condensate), operating pressure, fouling factor, and installation constraints are required. Tanpera provides thermodynamic calculation and material selection together using an ASME/EN approach.
An annual general inspection and pressure test are recommended; in high-fouling applications, chemical or mechanical cleaning of the tube bundle may be required. Anode and corrosion protection should be monitored regularly in seawater applications.
