What happens when water and oil mix? In the worst-case scenario: costly damage!
That's precisely why it's worth taking a close look at water quality and the appropriate heat exchanger.
Today, Shelltubi presents a solution that is particularly compelling in challenging water conditions: our hybrid safety heat exchangers.
They were specially developed to prevent water and oil from mixing – even in the event of pipe damage. The proven double-pipe design with electronic monitoring provides reliable protection and triggers an immediate alarm in case of pressure deviations.
Compactly designed, technically sophisticated, and ideal for poor or unclear water quality, whether in industry, at OEMs, or in the marine sector.
Our safety heat exchangers have also been successfully used at MTU Aero Engines' Munich plant for over 20 years to reliably protect groundwater during cooling processes.
