Type OP

Description

BASCO® OP design has remained the preferred tema type AEW Shell and tube heat exchanger in the market for over six Decades. The “OP” or “O-Ring Protected” design features removable tube bundle, nozzle location flexibility, and a unique threaded o-ring retainer that permits removal of the reversing bonnet without disturbing the piping or draining the shellside fluid. Removal of the channel cover permits full inspection and cleaning of the tube side.

Our Basco® Double “O” Ring Seal Protection

Permits the bundle to expand and contract without strain or intermixing of shell and tubeside fluids. O-Rings retain compression and are unaffected by vibration and temperature changes. Telltale holes reveal any leakage.
