This company operates on a global scale, serving companies in over 150 countries.Used in both commercial and industrial settings, heat exchangers are used in applications where they are relied upon to transfer heat and remove heat in a variety of industries. Generally speaking, heat exchangers last around 10 to 20 years if they are maintained properly.
However, due to their application and exposure to high temperatures and increased pressure a lot of shell and tube heat exchangers do not make it to their full lifespan before needing to be replaced or repaired. This choice comes down to if you have the budget for one choice or the other. Luckily, Heat Exchanger USA is proud to provide our customers with the option of both repairs and replacement units, all depending on your needs and specifications.Serviceable and Non-Serviceable IssuesShell and tube heat exchangers can have a number of different things that go wrong with them from fouling and contamination that causes the machine to lose the capability of heat transfer to cracking in the tube bundles.
Now the fix for contamination is a pretty quick fix, the maintenance cost associated with it can be pretty steep. Cracking commonly occurs after heat stress, and this issue cannot be repaired once the cracking takes place in the metal of the shell and tube heat exchanger, this means the heat exchanger must be replaced.We have an eBook available for free download that goes over different areas that are replaceable issues or repairable issues in shell and tube heat exchangers.
Within this book you will also find a full list of all the products we offer here at Heat Exchanger USA.So if your American Standard Heat Exchanger needs repairs or your need to replace it, Heat Exchanger USA is the company for you. We are a leading shell and tube heat exchanger manufacturer that has over twenty years of experience within the industry, so you can count on us to provide a solution that works for your application and specifications.Please specify your heat exchanger requirements for the replacement of an existing American Standard Heat Exchanger.(fields with asterisks are required). Commercial and industrial professionals rely on to transfer heat energy and remove unwanted heat in diverse applications. The service lives of heat exchangers generally range from 10 to 20 years, providing the exchangers are well-maintained.
However, constant contact with high temperatures and pressures takes a toll on heat exchangers, which often causes premature failure. Should equipment failure occur, you have an important decision to make: to repair the faulty component or to replace it. Your decision will depend on your budget and the specific issues at hand.Serviceable and Non-Serviceable IssuesMany issues can be rectified without replacing a heat exchanger. Fouling (or contamination) inhibits proper heat transfer, but this issue can be repaired quickly (with a high maintenance cost though).
Heat exchanger tube bundles are also easily replaceable components. Flow misdistribution is another serviceable issue, usually caused by poor design or installation and if just looking to replace the tube bundle go to.On the other hand, cracking found in heat exchangers are not serviceable.
The leading cause of this issue is system overheating—insufficient airflow leads to heat stress, which in turn leads to cracks near the weakest areas in the metal material. Cracked heat exchangers must be replaced immediately to protect other system components and to prevent carbon monoxide leakage.For more in-depth information, be sure to obtain a copy of Boiler Supplies’ latest eBook titled. This free-to-download eBook outlines the criteria for repairing or replacing these critical system components. Additionally, our eBook provides a list of manufacturer products we supply.
