HP Series Heat Exchanger

High pressure liquid to gas heat exchanger (blower or compressor aftercooler) HP Series heat exchangers heat and cool pressurized gas streams at pressures to 100 PSIG.  Use our interactive online form to get a fast and accurate quote!

Common Applications
Aftercooling, dehumidifying and heating rotary-lobe and multistage centrifugal blowers and compressors used in pneumatic conveying, air separation and charge-air systems.   

Pressure Housing
Heat exchanger cores are removable from the front of the housing without disassembly of the gas line.   The housing is designed based on the ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 pressure vessel code.  A code stamp is available as an option.

Fin-Tube Core
The fins are rectangular plates, with a matrix of die-extruded tube collars.  A sheet metal casing provides rigidity to the fin-tube assembly prior to tube expansion.   After assembly, the tubes are expanded into the fin collars.  This allows for a gap-free connection maximizing heat exchanger performance and structural integrity.

Installation Considerations
The fluid circuit consists of several parallel tube circuits, which are joined at inlet and outlet headers. The circuits are designed to work "down hill" to prevent trapping.  To assure complete drainage, optional intermediate drain headers are available.  Attached to the 180º return bends, the drain headers provide positive water drainage and protection from freeze-up.

Performance
Xchanger engineers use a computer model to analyze heat exchanger performance.   A specifically designed program calculates housing material thickness based on the ASME code.  As with all Xchanger equipment, the design performance is guaranteed.

Models
HP-20, HP-24, HP-36, HP-40, HP-42, HP-48, HP-50, HP-54, HP-60, HP-66, HP-72 & HP-80.
