HiTRAN®
Thermal Systems are
specially designed to be flexible for ease of installation in
minimal time, even where access is very confined. This flexibility
also allows the system to adjust to any tube diameter tolerances.
To
ensure optimum performance it is important that HiTRAN®
Matrix
Elements are
installed in the direction of fluid flow within the tube.
Installation can be carried out in-situ without removing
the exchanger bundle (vertical or horizontal orientation) or in
the workshop during fabrication or maintenance.
| HiTRAN®
Matrix Elements are secured at the
end of the tubes using the HiTRAN®
‘Key Link’ system, or by
joining the element
centre cores together, across the tube
plate. |
|
 |
For air-cooled heat exchangers with plug headers and other
exchanger designs where access is restricted, HiTRAN®
‘Core Anchors’ are used to
secure the elements at the tube ends.

HiTRAN®
matrix elements are normally
supplied in continuous lengths of up to 6
metres.
For longer tubes separate elements can be joined and
installed in series. Tube diameters from 4 mm to 150 mm diameter
are catered for. Cal
Gavin recognise
the importance of using the correct materials in the petrochemical
and chemical process, industries and are therefore committed to
meeting customer’s needs in this area.
For general corrosion resistance the most common material
used is Stainless Steel and quantities of Grades 304 and 316 are
kept in stock. Carbon steel is also readily available where this
is appropriate. HiTRAN®
Matrix Elements have also been
manufactured successfully from various exotic alloys including
Hastelloy®
, Incolloy®
, 904L, Titanium and
Tantalum. For other
special materials contact Cal Gavin for advice.
