ALCO Turbulators

ALCO utilizes turbulators to improve the performance of new and existing Multi-Tube Hairpin Exchangers and Shell & Tube Exchangers. Turbulators are twisted tape static mixers installed in the exchanger tubes.


Turbulators Benefits & Features

  • Improved overall Heat Transfer Rate. Heat Transfer Coefficients improve approximately three to five times than that of open tubes.
  • Economical way to upgrade performance of an existing exchanger.
  • Reduce the required size of new exchanger.
  • Converts laminar flow to turbulent flow.
  • Continuous self-cleaning swirling motion reduces fouling, film build-up, and costly downtime.
  • Constant mixing keeps fluid at a uniform temperature, reducing gradients which may lead to thermal breakdown.
  • Easy to install and remove.
  • No moving parts.
  • Available in most metallurgies.
