Manufacturing overview
Heat exchanger fabrication covers the manufacturing and assembly of components such as shells, tubes, tube sheets, headers, channels, and supporting structures.
Common equipment configurations include shell-and-tube exchangers, plate-based exchangers, and specialized fabricated heat transfer assemblies.
Materials may include carbon steel, stainless steel, copper alloys, titanium, and nickel-based alloys.
Manufacturing operations can involve plate rolling, tube bending, tube expansion, precision drilling, welding, and mechanical assembly.
Critical requirements include operating pressure, design temperature, fluid compatibility, corrosion allowance, thermal duty, and applicable fabrication codes.
Buyers should provide equipment drawings, design conditions, material specifications, connection details, quantity, and inspection requirements.
Depending on the application, fabrication may require qualified welding procedures, material traceability, pressure testing, leak testing, and nondestructive examination.
