The
Twisted Tube™
Advantage
Improvements over conventional
shell & tube heat exchangers

Reduced Fouling
  • Baffle-free design eliminates dead spots where fouling can occur.
  • Velocity is constant and uniform.
  • Constant flow distribution controls tube wall temperature.
No Vibration
  • Baffle-free design directs shell side fluid to true longitudinal flow.
  • Each Twisted Tube is extensively supported at multiple contact points along its entire length.
  • Tube fretting and failure due to vibration is eliminated.
Lower Pressure Drop
  • Twisted Tube technology's longitudinal swirl flow reduces the high pressure drop associated with segmental baffles.
  • Twisted Tube exchangers are usually shorter in length and have fewer number of passes, for a lower pressure drop on the tubeside.
