Alfa Laval Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger AD-200-B-88-0.8-H-C-1-1

The Alfa Laval Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger model AD-200-B-88-0.8-H-C-1-1 is a robust, ASME-certified unfired pressure vessel designed for efficient heat transfer in industrial applications such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and HVAC systems. Manufactured in 2013, this unit features a U-tube design for enhanced thermal performance and ease of maintenance, allowing for tube bundle removal without disturbing the shell. Key benefits include high pressure and temperature resistance, corrosion-resistant materials (likely stainless steel based on visuals), and compact footprint for space-constrained installations. It offers superior heat transfer efficiency compared to plate heat exchangers in high-fouling or viscous fluid scenarios, with drawbacks including higher initial cost and potential for tube vibration in extreme flows. Asset-specific details from images indicate a used condition with minor external rust and markings (e.g., 'EX106'), but internal tubes appear clean and intact, suggesting it's ready for service after inspection. Applications include condensing, evaporating, or heating fluids under pressures up to 200 PSI. Advantages over competitors like Tranter or API include Alfa Laval's proven reliability and global support network. Estimated dimensions based on provided size (4'4" x 4'4") and image analysis suggest a compact design suitable for modular systems.
