According to the international TEMA code, the floating head configuration (P, T, and S) consists of a removable bundle with a fixed plate and a floating plate with a cover that is free to move.
The floating head design enables the absorption of deformations caused by temperature variations, reducing stress on the materials. Despite the head’s movement, sealing is ensured, protecting against potential fluid leakage risks.
These heat exchangers are particularly useful in industrial settings where operating conditions can vary significantly, and where safety and efficiency are top priorities.
