Where to get a decent SS heat exchanger? - Plumbing Zone

Protech · 08-21-2010, 01:17 PM

I need a small SS heat exchanger for heating RO/DI water. Heating water will be flowing at about 2-2.5 gpm at 160F and heated water will be flowing at about 1.5 gpm with a target temperature of 140F.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I need a heat exchanger made of 316 stainless steel but it needs to be large enough and efficient enough to get to my target temp/flow rate.

We use mostly Alfa Laval hexes where I work. You should be able to find a rep from Alfa's web site. You'll need to be more specific when you talk to them, the will need to know heat transfer rates, hot side flow and temp, cold side flow and temp, as well as allowable pressure drop.
