TEMA TYPE P

Construction

Available in TEMA B, C, or R construction

Removable bundle

Straight tube

Skirt type packed floating tubesheet

Applications

Hydrogen

Oxygen

Air

Nitrogen

Hydrocarbon gases

Gases with low molecular weights

Advantages

Floating end allows for thermal expansion between the shell side and tube side

Eliminates the need for a costly expansion joint

Intermixing of shell and tube fluids is unlikely

Provides maximum heat transfer surface and high thermal efficiency.

Multi-pass tube side designs are available

Straight tubes can be easily cleaned

Tube bundle can be easily removed for cleaning, repairing or replacing.

Limitations

Maximum shell side design pressures are generally limited to 150 PSIG

Gases (except low pressure air & nitrogen) should be kept on the tube side.

Shell Side

Sizes from 6" to 44" Diameter

Pressures: 150 PSIG standard

Temperatures: Up to 375 F

Tube Side

Tube sizes 5/8" OD to 1" OD

Pressures: Up to 3000 PSIG

Temperatures: up to 600 F
