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.
