  “Tube within Tube Heat Exchanger”

  Posted by ryewater on May 17, 2023 at 2:27 pm

  Does anyone know of any tube-in-tube heat exchangers with 3″ tri-clamp connections?  We currently have a 2′ tri-clamp tube in tube but we are upsizing our system to all 3″ TC equipment and I cant seem to find anyone who produces a 3″ shell in tubes unless its custom made.

  It may be easier to use a reducer?

  Far less expensive to use a 3” x 2” TC reducer.

  I have plenty of those but I have 3″ tanks/hoses/pumps, I don’t want to reduce to 2″ anywhere in the system.

  What is the concern of reducing to 2 inches just for the chiller? Sorry I’m still learning and consider myself a “newbie”, and I’m trying to understand why you don’t want to reduce anywhere in the system?

  I have built a 40 tube x 12ft long for our distillery in Central Washington. 4″ over 3″ tube.

  can build one for you if you like, let me know your needs/specs.

  Going larger would also lower your volume to surface area so it might be bigger but it might not cool as well as forcing it through a smaller tube.
