A tubular heat exchanger<\/a><\/strong> is a process equipment<\/strong> designed for the heat transfer<\/strong> between two fluids (liquid, steam, gas) or between the surface of a solid and a moving fluid.<\/p>\n The manufacturing of a tubular heat exchanger<\/strong> can be carried out in different qualities of stainless steel<\/strong> or special alloys<\/strong>, being able to withstand high and low working pressures, as well as a wide range of process temperatures. In the manufacturing of heat exchangers<\/a><\/strong>, the welding is the key factor<\/strong> of the process. Tubular heat exchangers are very efficient process equipment<\/strong> and their high speeds improve heat transfer considerably.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.21″ src=”https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Intercambiador-de-calor-de-tubos-corrugados.png” alt=”The manufacturing of the tubular heat exchanger can be carried out in different qualities of stainless steel or special alloys” title_text=”SACOME tubular heat exchanger” align=”center” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n The starting point in the calculation and design of any heat exchange system<\/strong> is the definition of how the thermal properties<\/strong> evolve throughout the process, whether heating or cooling<\/strong>.
