RODbaffle® heat exchangers improve operational reliability by protecting against flow-induced tube vibration while reducing pressure loss, limiting fouling deposition and increasing bundle rigidity.
The concept originated as a practical solution to vibration-related exchanger failures, using rods between tube rows to support and stabilise the bundle.
Therco Serck has applied this technology to ASME VIII HF acid coolers incorporating 923 U-tubes, 6,400 mm straight legs and 41 large-diameter baffles per unit — a specialist design approach where vibration resistance and reliability matter.
