THEA 60

Summary

Product identification

• Product Line: THEA
• Type: Tubular Heat Exchanger

• PED - Article 4.3 (SEP) in the European Parliament directive No. 2014/68/EU (Pressure Equipment Directive). Designed for fluid group 2 (non-dangerous fluids).
• 3-A Sanitary Standards 00-01 / 12-08

Material and Construction

• Material: EN.1.4404 (AISI 316L) stainless steel with a sanitary surface finish.
• Design: Two pressure chambers in a combined housing.
  • Tube side (Product side): Consists of the inside of all tubes in the tube bundle.
  • Shell side (Service side): Consists of the outside of the tube bundle and the inside of the exchanger's outer shell.
• Surface Roughness:
  • Inside surface roughness: ≤ 0.8 μm
  • Outside surface roughness: ≤ 1.6 µm
• Fluid Compatibility: All fluid media must be compatible with EN.1.4404 (AISI 316L) Stainless Steel.
