Hairpin Heat Exchangers are essential in many industries due to their efficient heat transfer facilitated by U-shaped tubes arranged in a hairpin design, enabling counterflow or parallel flow configurations.

The Metalforms BROWN FINTUBE® Hairpin Heat Exchangers offer several advantages:

• Cost-Effective: Often a single hairpin meets performance needs, reducing initial and maintenance costs compared to multiple shell-and-tube units.
• Durable in Cyclic/Shock Service: Large-radius U-bends and one-end terminal connections allow for thermal expansion without expansion joints.
• Robust Construction: Baffles welded directly to tie rods eliminate sleeves or internal nuts, enhancing strength.
• Handles Wide Temperature Differentials: Independent tube sheets and closures prevent thermal expansion issues common in conventional designs.
• High Pressure Capability: Unique closure design supports pressures over 10,000 psi.
• Easy Maintenance: Extended U-bend radius simplifies cleaning and removes the need for expansion or packed joints.
• Flexible Installation: Mobile support brackets with four-sided slots accommodate shell expansion and future upgrades without sliding plates.
• Compact Footprint: More space-efficient compared to shell-and-tube exchangers.
• Optimized for Temperature Cross: Single-pass design suits close temperature approaches and temperature cross applications.
