Used Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers are designed to transfer heat between two fluid substances – liquids, vapors, or gases – of different temperatures. So, depending on the heat exchanger used, it’s possible to transfer heat from gas-to-gas, liquid-to-liquid, or liquid-to-gas. The heat exchanger incorporates a solid separator that prevents the fluids from mixing or making contact.

Used Heat Exchangers from SMB Machinery

The most common types of heat exchangers are:

  • Shell and tube heat exchangers
  • Plate heat exchangers
  • Double pipe heat exchangers
  • Condensers, boilers, and evaporators

SMB Machinery stocks used plate and frame heat exchangers as well as used shell and tube heat exchangers. They are used by operators in a wide range of industries including beverage, brewery, HVAC, pharmaceuticals, wastewater, and oil and gas.  

Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers 

These are the most common types of industrial heat exchangers. They are made with single or multiple parallel tube bundles that are enclosed within a structural shell. One fluid flows through the tube or tubes, while the other flows and, if there are multiple tubes, in between them within the shell. 

There are, of course, a variety of design features, depending on the way the shell and tube heat exchanger is designed. These include a choice between single- and two-phase heat transfer as well as different flow configurations. 

Used shell and tube heat exchangers from SMB include stainless steel models manufactured by Staco-DSI. 

Plate and Frame Heat Exchangers

Plate-type heat exchangers are made of a series of thin, corrugated plates that are bundled and stacked together, sometimes in a frame of sorts. The fluid flows through channels that are created by each pair of plates. 

Used plate and frame heat exchangers from SMB including models from Alfa-Laval, APV, and AGC, and stainless steel equipment from Cherry Burrell.
