Product Description

A Floating Head Heat Exchanger is an advanced shell and tube heat transfer equipment designed with a removable floating tube sheet structure, allowing the tube bundle to expand freely under high temperature conditions. This design effectively reduces thermal stress and provides excellent reliability for demanding industrial processes.

Compared with conventional fixed structures, floating head technology provides superior flexibility during thermal cycling operations. The removable design allows easier inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, making it widely used in petrochemical plants, chemical processing facilities, energy projects, and large industrial systems.

As an experienced Heat Exchanger Manufacturer, Wuxi Yiteng provides customized floating head solutions according to customer requirements, including heat transfer area, pressure rating, material selection, and operating conditions.

Our floating head exchangers are manufactured based on international pressure vessel standards and can be integrated into different Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger configurations. The complete equipment includes shell components, floating tube sheet, channel head, baffles, and removable Tube Bundle assemblies.

For customers requiring high-performance thermal equipment, we provide certified ASME Heat Exchanger solutions with advanced fabrication technology. Replacement components such as ASME Tube Bundle can also be customized according to original equipment specifications.

Different structures including S&T Heat Exchanger, Tube Sheet Heat Exchanger, and customized designs are available to meet complex industrial applications.

Our engineering team provides complete Custom Heat Exchanger solutions from design calculation to manufacturing and inspection.
