Further details
| Type: |
Shell and tube heat exchanger with small diameter hairpin tubes; either 1/2-pass or 1/4-pass standard configuration. Also available as insert/immersion heat exchangers. |
| Size: |
The VESTA™ MX series ranges from Ø100 mm to Ø400 mm shells; straight tube lengths from 600 mm up to 2,000 mm (overall length 980 - 2,700 mm). Standard tubing is Ø10x1 mm, but other types are available. Baffles and nozzles (DIN 86030 or JIS 16K) are tailored to customers' individual requirements and acceptable pressure drop. |
| Capacity: |
The heating surface ranges from 0.5 m2 to 64 m2; heat load ranges from 10 kW up to approx. 2 MW. Any intermediate design is available from the standard range. Designs above 2 MW are carried out on request or substituted by another Aalborg Industries product. Design pressure is 16/16 or 30/19 bar(g) and design temperature shell/tube is 160/204 ºC or 195/212 ºC. |
| Materials: |
Carbon steel or stainless steel (AISI 316). |
| Fluids: |
Heating media: water, steam, thermal oil. Heated media: steam, fresh or treated water, thermal oil, lubrication oil, heavy fuel oil, engine coolants, food processing fluids, acids. |
| Applications: |
The VESTA™ MX series heat exchangers have traditionally been utilized as oil and water heaters in ships' installations but also in a variety of industrial applications thanks to the proven and cost-effective design. Basically, the VESTA™ MX series is an extremely versatile design that can be customized to almost any application. |
| Equipment: |
The standard shell is fitted with three ½ inch sockets for mounting of safety valve, draining valve, temperature sensor or pressure gauge. A standard outlet tube for mounting of sensor (hydrostatic or electric temperature sensor) for the control valve and additional sensors is also available. When steam is used for heating, a standard steam trap is included in the delivery on request. |
| Approvals: |
The VESTA™ MX series is approved by ABS, BV, CCS, DNV, GL, KR, LRS, MRS, NK and various Scandinavian industrial authorities (Arbejdstilsynet/Denmark, SAQ/Sweden, and TTK/Finland). |
| Delivery: |
Aalborg Industries can deliver any VESTA™ MX series heat exchanger within 2-4 weeks from receipt of order on FCA Aalborg basis. Emergency deliveries within few days for standard types. |
| Warranty: |
Aalborg Industries offers 12 months operating warranty on heat exchangers; maximum warranty is 18 months from time of delivery. |
