Meeting challenging heat exchanger requirements, including high pressures and temperatures, complex fabrication, critical welding and specialist metallurgy, for multiple applications across the oil and gas refining and petrochemical processing sectors.
Retrofitting a conventional tube bundle with SPINTUBE is the most cost effective and simple way of improving the performance of your heat exchanger fleet. The unique profile of SPINTUBE provides up to 40% better heat transfer performance than the round tube of a conventional shell and tube heat exchanger.
The acquisition of VRV and IMB adds a range of specialty heat exchangers, reactors and vessels that extends Chart’s portfolio into upstream gas processing and refining.

Lummus先进的后膛锁交换机® is typically used in hydrocracking, hydro-treating, gas compression, ammonia/urea synthesis, methanol and other high temperature and high pressure applications with rich hydrogen streams.
Hairpin Heat Exchangers use true counter-current flow. Unlike multi-pass shell and-tube designs where correction factors are used to account for inefficiencies resulting from counter current passes, this process maximizes temperature differences between shell-side and tube-side fluids.
HELIXCHANGER® heat exchangers facilitate helical fluid flow on the shell-side providing performance advantages versus conventional baffled shell and tube units.
Maximizing performance while minimizing space is the most critical aspect of every offshore installation. From large hairpin heat exchanger installations to sub-sea coolers, we offer the most comprehensive selection of custom designed tubular heat exchanger products and solutions. Furthermore, our technical consultancy, training and aftermarket service is second to none.
The round tube of a conventional shell and tube heat exchanger has a uniform cross-section that is less effective for heat transfer performance. Because of the tangential velocity component, Spintube introduces additional turbulence and, because the tubes are in direct contact with each other, it produces a tighter tube pitch (more tubes per shell), and is self-supporting, which eliminates baffles.
Applications include:
使用> 700个单位的服务，IMB建造的Lablex®单位代表世界已安装数据库的50％。
先进的设计消除了与传统的高压热交换器设计相关的大沟道盖法兰和螺栓，以减少大小和重量的显着减少。
LABLEX is suitable for services with high pressures on both the shell and tube sides and those with high pressure only on the tube side.
