Water cooler

Features

Heat exchangers of the WEF6 range are used to cool process/barrier fluids in seal supply circuits. WEF6 heat exchangers are fully compliant with API 682 4th edition regulations. The process/barrier medium is directed through the tube, and the cooling medium is directed through the shell.
Venting and draining of the process/barrier medium side as well as the cooling water side is ensured. In addition, the heat exchangers can also be combined with a temperature instrument in the supply line to the mechanical seal (optional in accordance with API 682 4th edition).

Advantages

  • Operating limits up to 65 bar / 260 °C
    (943 PSI / 500 °F) (tube side):
    suitable for a wide range of operations
  • Cooling water and process side can be completely vented and drained
  • Seamless pipes on process side
  • Special design without welding inside the cooler
  • Higher cooling water velocity due to innovative cooler design
  • Stainless steel 316/316L: high resistance to corrosive media

Standards and approvals

  • PED 2014/68/EU (Design and production in accordance with EU Pressure Equipment Directive)
  • ASME VIII, Div. 1 possible (see notes)
  • API 682 4th edition

WEL5

Heat exchangers of the WEL5 range (photo: WEL5200/M001-D0) are used to cool process/barrier fluids in seal supply circuits. The heat exchangers are made of helical finned tubes. The cooling medium is ambient air. It is important, therefore, for WEL5 heat exchangers to be installed in well ventilated places indoors or, ideally, outdoors. The integrated fan blower ensures the necessary cooling air flow. The WEL5 range is provided as a compact packaged unit completely assembled.
