Engineered thermal duty

Heat Transfer Equipment

Custom heat exchangers developed around the required thermal duty, fluid properties, pressure drop, mechanical design and service access.

Product overview

Defined by the process.
Built for the operation.

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.

Engineering configuration

Configured around your duty.

The equipment is developed from process inputs, operating conditions, cleaning requirements and site interfaces.

01

Thermal design basis

Flow rates, inlet and outlet temperatures, physical properties and fouling data establish the required heat-transfer area.

02

Hydraulic performance

Allowable pressure drop, velocity and flow arrangement are balanced against heat-transfer performance and pump duty.

03

Mechanical design

Pressure, temperature, thermal expansion, nozzle loads, supports and applicable project requirements define the construction.

04

Inspection and cleaning

Bundle access, head removal space, drainage and cleaning method are planned around the fluids and maintenance strategy.

Specification framework

The right questions before fixed numbers.

Project limits are confirmed through engineering review. These fields describe the decisions needed for an accurate, application-specific configuration.

Common questions

Planning your vessel project.

What process data is needed to specify a heat exchanger?

Provide both fluid compositions, flow rates, inlet and target outlet temperatures, operating and design conditions, allowable pressure drop, fouling information and material constraints.

How is the correct exchanger type selected?

Selection balances thermal duty, fluid properties, pressure and temperature, fouling, cleanability, footprint, maintenance access and applicable project requirements.

Can heat-transfer equipment be integrated with a process skid?

Yes. Exchangers, pumps, valves, instruments, controls and interconnecting pipework can be coordinated as part of a project-specific module.
