According to the international TEMA code, the “AEW/BEW” configuration consists of a retractable beam with a fixed plate and a floating plate. This design allows the two fluids to be kept separate, ensuring that they do not come into contact even in problematic situations.
The removable tube bundle design allows direct access to the tubes, making the heat exchanger easier to clean and maintain. Additionally, the construction is designed to detect any fluid leaks, as the O-Ring seals are separated by a weep ring, which acts as an indicator in the event of seal weakness or breakage.
These features make W-type removable bundle heat exchangers an effective choice for industrial applications where cleanliness and safety are priorities.
