Twisted Tape Turbulator
Twisted Tape Turbulators are a static mixer designed to induce swirling and mixing of the fluid or gas, eliminating thermal boundary layers, and breaking up laminar flow regimes, drastically improving thermal efficiency and reducing fuel costs.
Whether you need a prototype batch or a massive production run, our turbulators are custom-tailored to balance optimal heat transfer with your system's specific requirements.
-
Our custom turbulators are proven performers across a wide range of heating equipment, including:
Systems: Any Tubular Heat Exchange Equipment, vaporizers, chillers, oil & glycol coolers, photovoltaic thermal systems, air heaters, condensers
Boilers: Firetube, vertical tube, and cast iron sectional boilers.
Note: Because real-world flow regimes vary, we recommend practical testing within your specific application to accurately measure the precise impact on efficiency and pressure drop.
-
No need for complex mounting hardware or welding. Simply Push through the tube. If you need to restrict more add one or two retention tab options
Multiple Retention Tab Options: “T” tab, bent tab and a hole
This tab secures the turbulator firmly inside the tube on one or both ends.
Tool Free Installation: Installation takes seconds, and turbulators can be quickly removed for routine tube cleaning and maintenance.
-
Materials: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Copper Brass or Inconel. If we can source the alloy, we can fabricate it.
Width: .150” – 4” – For larger tubes, multiple band options available Length Limits: Custom-fabricated (Limited only by shipping feasibility)
Production Volume: Scalable (Customized for both small and large production quantities)
-
If you wish to know how much efficiency would be gained for your application we partner with a trusted engineering firm. Their HTRI software can provide thermal & hydraulic analysis, showing thermal and pressure drop.
Why Partner With Us?
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We look at your specific tube sizes, lengths and fluids to manufacture a product that fits perfectly and performs immediately.
