“A shell and tube heat exchanger either adds heat or takes away heat from a product without mixing the utility fluid with the product,” said Ron Herman, Director of Business and Development, when explaining the purpose of a heat exchanger. Depending on the application, the product runs through the tubes while being heated or cooled through the shell. Enerquip’s experience is vast. They manufacture a variety of shell and tube heat exchangers in various sizes and for many applications. The products can range from water and salsa to chemicals and asphalt.

Making a heat exchanger starts at the waterjet, where many parts are cut. The parts, such as channels and tube sheets, are then sent to the machine shop, where certified CNC machinists drill project specified tube holes, O-ring placements, and other essential details. The tubes for the exchangers are cut and bent to fit the specified project length. Then ASME code welders perform welding for fabricated channels, shell assemblies, and more. The units are assembled, hydro-tested, and given a final inspection. During hydro-testing, the equipment is pressure-tested for strength and leaks. The heat exchanger, or
