First introduced in 1962, our 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.
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.
