Custom Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
A project-engineered shell and tube exchanger that balances thermal duty, pressure drop, mechanical conditions, material compatibility and maintainability.
View productEngineered thermal duty
Custom heat exchangers developed around the required thermal duty, fluid properties, pressure drop, mechanical design and service access.
Product overview
Heat-transfer equipment must satisfy thermal performance and mechanical requirements at the same time. Vessentra begins with process data for both fluid streams, then coordinates exchanger configuration, materials, pressure design, fouling allowance, inspection and maintenance access.
Final construction, operating limits, materials and documentation are confirmed against the agreed project design basis.
Heat Transfer Equipment range
Each product page explains where the design fits, what should be specified and which related configurations to compare.

Application details are reviewed before equipment configuration is finalised.
Engineering configuration
The equipment is developed from process inputs, operating conditions, cleaning requirements and site interfaces.
Flow rates, inlet and outlet temperatures, physical properties and fouling data establish the required heat-transfer area.
Allowable pressure drop, velocity and flow arrangement are balanced against heat-transfer performance and pump duty.
Pressure, temperature, thermal expansion, nozzle loads, supports and applicable project requirements define the construction.
Bundle access, head removal space, drainage and cleaning method are planned around the fluids and maintenance strategy.

Common questions
Provide both fluid compositions, flow rates, inlet and target outlet temperatures, operating and design conditions, allowable pressure drop, fouling information and material constraints.
Selection balances thermal duty, fluid properties, pressure and temperature, fouling, cleanability, footprint, maintenance access and applicable project requirements.
Yes. Exchangers, pumps, valves, instruments, controls and interconnecting pipework can be coordinated as part of a project-specific module.
