API's extensive line of Basco/Whitlock HT, AHT, and 550 hub-style heat exchangers offers the benefits of non-ferrous construction in a highly standardized design for maximum flexibility at minimum cost. Hub design advantages include increased corrosion resistance, maximum obtainment of tube quantity in a given diameter for better efficiency, and lower entrance velocity and pressure drop as a result of the dome shell nozzle.

Type HT heat exchangers have been in production since 1965. Standard HT models feature low-cost, non-ferrous construction with brass shell, brass tubesheet and straight copper tubes. End bonnets are cast iron. Numerous options including special materials and nozzle orientation are available.

Type AHT heat exchangers feature all 316 Stainless Steel construction in a wide variety of configurations. Modified units are suitable for critical service where ultra-clean conditions are paramount. Options include seal welding of tube to tube sheet joints and polished surfaces for pharmaceutical and food processing applications.

Type HTR and AHTR heat exchangers feature a removable tube bundle design allowing shellside cleaning and bundle replacement, rare in a low cost small diameter design where tubesheets are typically fixed. Available in non-ferrous or stainless designs.

Type 550 Heat Exchangers offer users of competitive brands the ability to realize better overall value in their heat exchanger purchases. Engineered and manufactured to be dimensionally interchangable with certain ITT Standard and Thermal Transfer models, Basco/Whitlock 550 models feature collared baffles that minimize fluid by-pass for maximum thermal performance. Spare parts, including bonnets and gaskets, are also interchangeable.

API Heat Transfer manufactures several variations of U-Tube heat exchangers. Both the Type 500 and Hub-Design are available in U-Tube configurations. However, to address the very basic of needs for industrial heating and cooling applications, API's Model BWS and BW U-Tube heat exchangers offer highly standardized construction at a very attractive price. The BWS is designed for Water-to-Steam, while the BW is built for Water-toWater service. Units are also available as Immersion Tank Heat Exchangers.

Constructed in accordance with ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 1, these heavy duty "U"-Tube heat exchangers have built-in protection against damage caused by the inherent forces which occur during heating and cooling as the vessel thermally expands and contracts. As the one end of the bundle is free to float, the unit is safe even under exteme thermal cycling. This makes them ideal for use with steam as the heating medium.

Typical applications for the BWS and BW models include:

• Water heating with steam
• Condensate cooling
• Boiler feedwater preheating
• Cooling tower trim cooling
• Glycol cooling
• Oil cooling

First introduced in 1962, the Basco OP design has proven to be the preferred TEMA Type AEW shell and tube heat exchanger in the market. The "OP", or "O-Ring Protected" design features removable tube bundle, nozzle location flexibility, and a unique threaded O-ring retainer that permits removal of the reversing bonnet without disturbing the piping or draining the shellside fluid. Removal of the channel cover permits full inspection and cleaning of the tube side.

Basco's Double "O" Ring Seal Protection Permits the bundle to expand and contract without strain or intermixing of shell and tubeside fluids. O-Rings retain compression and are unaffected by vibration and temperature changes. Telltale holes reveal any leakage.

The unique construction of the Basco OP permits inspection and maintenance of the tubeside without draining the shellside or disturbing the piping.

Typical applications for the Basco Type OP include:

• Compressed air
• Steam or gas turbine oil
• Hydraulic oil
• Lube oil
• Bearing water

The Basco PLAC (Pipeline Aftercooler) and its companion separator provide an ideal combination to remove moisture and oil from compressed air streams. The tubes are effectively arranged to maximize heat transfer and reduce water usage and are readily accessible for periodic cleaning of maintenance. The companion moisture separator has a cast iron construction and is designed to provide maximum efficiency in removing virtually all particulate matter over the entire operating range. The standard PLAC features a pull-through tube bundle with either 3/8" or 5/8" tubes. Fabricated according to ASME standard, they are designed to operate at 150 PSI. PLAC models are available for use up to 300 PSI.

Benefits:

• Removable tube bundle Simplifies cleaning of both tubes and shell sides, and reduces future maintenance costs.
• Double packed flating tubesheet with O-Rings Allows for proper thermal expansion caused by temperature differences.
• Tell-tale holes Allows easy visual detection of leaks
• Shell Sizes from 6" to 16" without spools - separator bolts direct to unit. Meets virtually all in-line aftercooler requirements conserves on space.

Standard pressures are 75 to 150 PSI, although higher pressures are available Standard design meets the majority of material code requirements.
