Basco® Hairpin Heat Exchangers

A hairpin design is often more thermally efficient than a traditional shell and tube, which results in a lower up-front cost and lower overall weight. Our experienced designers and engineers can meet any custom cooling requirement.

Removable Bundle Types.

Separated Closure Double Pipe: Type SCDP

  • Employs the industry’s most widely used separated head features
  • Shell side and tube side closures are separately bolted through, ideal for applications involving wide temperature or pressure differences between the shell and tube side fluids
  • In cyclic service, separately gasketed closures are more leak resistant compared to shell and tube designs
  • Separate shell and tube side seal configuration. This makes the tube bundle easy to remove, clean and replace.
  • Well suited for large imbalance of flow on shellside
  • Long fins are used to achieve high thermal performance with minimal pressure drop

Common Closure Hairpin: Type CC

  • Single bolted closure design. Ideal for applications involving low design temperature or pressure differences between the shell and tube side fluids
  • Enjoys the maintenance advantages of a Separated Closure Hairpin (Type SC)
  • The center ring keeps the shell gasket seated during the removal of the tube head for inspection or service

Non-Removable Bundle Types.

All-Welded Hairpin: Type AW

  • More cost effective design when removable bundle is not required
  • Fixed tubesheet design

Jacketed Pipe: Type JP

  • Most economical solution for any heat transfer application
  • Fixed tubesheet design
