THE TURBULATOR

A turbulator is a metal baffle formed to fit the inside diameter of a tube and designed to improve performance in boilers and heat exchange equipment of various types. A turbulator is a device which is inserted on the tube side of firetube boilers, shell & tube heat exchangers and other types of heat transfer equipment. It breaks up and redirects the straight line or laminar core of liquids or gas (whichever the case may be) and helps to increase heat transfer efficiency. In fact, a turbulator will allow you to do the same job using less energy. Turbulators:

• Won't harm boilers or heat exchangers
• Eliminates laminar flow and promotes turbulence
• Increases heat transfer efficiency
• Provides a quick return on investment

The Brock Turbulator: The Brock "Angular" Turbulator is primarily used in applications where there are gases inside the tubes or flue passes of boilers, air-to-air heat exchangers, and other types of heat exchange equipment.

The Twisted Tape Turbulator: As the name implies, the Twisted Tape Turbulator is formed in a helical fashion and is typically used in shell & tube heat exchanger applications where there are fluids inside the tubes.

The Turbulator for Process Heaters: Typical industries include oil, gas, and petro chemical processing. Turbulators for process heaters improve the efficiency of your Line Heaters, Dehydration Units, Water Bath Heaters, Reboilers, Tube Type Heat Exchangers,and Immersion/Vat Heaters... and more.
