Custom-engineered ASME and PED-certified heat transfer equipment for chemical, petrochemical, and manufacturing operations. TEMA-standard designs optimized for maximum thermal efficiency in high-pressure, high-temperature European industrial applications.
Shell and tube heat exchangers represent the most reliable and versatile technology for industrial thermal management—transferring heat between process fluids through arrays of tubes contained within a cylindrical shell. This robust design handles extreme pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments that challenge alternative heat exchanger technologies.
Drawing on decades of pressure vessel fabrication expertise from our parent companies in Mexico and the United States, Alpco Industrial EU delivers custom-engineered heat exchangers designed to TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association) standards and fabricated in full compliance with European PED 2014/68/EU and ASME Section VIII requirements.
Every unit is engineered specifically for your process conditions—counterflow, parallel flow, or crossflow arrangements with optimized baffle spacing, tube layout, and pass configuration to maximize heat recovery efficiency.
Full fabrication to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII and European Pressure Equipment Directive with complete design calculations, material certifications, and hydrostatic testing documentation.
Shell, tube bundle, and tubesheet materials optimized for your specific fluids—carbon steel for general service, 316/316L stainless for corrosion resistance, and exotic alloys (Inconel, Hastelloy, titanium) for aggressive chemical environments.
From economical fixed-tubesheet designs to removable-bundle floating-head configurations for demanding applications.
Most economical design with tubes secured to tubesheets welded to both shell ends. Ideal for clean services where shell-side mechanical cleaning is not required.
Single tubesheet design with U-bent tubes allowing unlimited thermal expansion. Bundle fully removable for shellside cleaning without disturbing piping.
One tubesheet fixed, one floating to accommodate differential expansion. Most versatile design allowing complete mechanical cleaning of both shell and tube sides.
