Industrial Heat Exchangers
Turnbull & Scott is a specialist manufacturer of bespoke high end Extended Surface Liquid/Gas Heat Exchangers. Extended Surface heat exchangers are commonly used to transfer heat between a gas and liquid. Our products are used all over the world in industrial applications including chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and power generation. Increasingly we are designing products for heat recovery and recycling purposes. All products are custom designed and built to meet our clients specific requirements.
The tubes used in these units are equipped with fins that extend outward from the tubes to increase the surface area of the tube and hence the thermal transfer.
The fins on the tubes allow for a much larger surface area to be packed into a small volume. This is especially important when transferring heat to or from a gas as gasses that have extremely low heat transfer coefficients (meaning that large amounts of area are required).
Air Blast Coolers are designed to use air to cool process fluids in much the same way as your car radiator. The process fluid is passed through the coils and a fan helps pull air over the outside surface to promote cooling. These units again must provide a very large surface area to make up for the poor heat transfer of the air.
Heat exchangers used to cool a vapour to it’s liquid state are also known as Condensers.
Heat Exchangers which use boiler exhaust fumes to pre-warm the boiler fluid and therefore increase the boiler efficiency are known as Economisers.
All of these products, designed and manufactured by Turnbull & Scott are built using one of a range of Finned Tubes.
The Industrial Range Includes:
- Heat Exchangers, Coils or Batteries
- Gilled Tube Systems
- Blast Coolers
- Economisers
- Solvent Laden Air Condensers
- Heat Recovery Units
