Custom Type Fixed Tubesheet Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger for Inter Cooler

Custom Type Fixed Tubesheet Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger for Inter Coole

1. Equipment Overview & Configuration
A fixed tubesheet design (typically TEMA Type AEL or BEM) represents the most robust and leak-proof configuration for compressor intercooler applications. Because the tubesheets are welded directly to the shell, there are no internal gaskets or floating mechanisms, completely eliminating potential bypass leakage between high-pressure process gas and the cooling medium.

2. Comprehensive Technical Data Sheet (Mechanical & Thermal

The table below outlines a standard custom configuration for a high-pressure stage intercooler.

3. Material Selection Matrix (Custom Options)

Materials are selected based on the specific chemistry of the process gas and the quality of the cooling water.

4.Typical Industrial Sector Applications

This specific ASME/NBR certificated design is built for heavy industrial environments, including:

Oil & Gas Refineries: Inter-stage cooling of hydrocarbon gases, recycle hydrogen gas, and sour gases.

Petrochemical & Methanol Plants: Cooling of synthesis gas (Syngas) and high-pressure process loops.

Air Separation Units (ASU): Multi-stage centrifugal air compressors producing bulk O2 and N2.

Large-scale Utilities: High-pressure plant air systems where NBR/NR-13 compliance is mandatory for South American/Brazilian operations.
