CHX524-2S

A fixed-tubesheet bundle gives this configuration the thermal and mechanical margin expected of CHX compact equipment in compact liquid cooling. Small-diameter tubes pack maximum surface into a short shell, keeping the mounting footprint tight. The configuration measures 5 inches across the shell, 24-inch shell length, and roughly 28-5/16 inches overall in a 2-pass arrangement. That works out to about 16 square feet of heat transfer surface on 3/4-inch O.D. tubes. Standard construction uses cast iron bonnets, brass shell, copper tubes, and brass tubesheets. Operating limits are 300 PSI on the shell side, 150 PSI on the tube side, and 300°F maximum temperature. This build is designated CHX524-2S. The series sees regular use in mechanical seal cooling, hydraulic and lube oil cooling, and injection molding machine cooling.
