Design Features
- Designed to Current Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (cGAMP)
- Robust Design
- Modular construction
- Tube fluid is designed to take the most efficient heat removal route through the system
Operational Benefits
- Highly efficient heat removal through fluid conduction means
- Ideal when a secondary (shell) fluid source is available
- Seamless tube with smooth, polished surface finish is supplied as standard. A totally parallel outside diameter (crevice-free design ensuring no contamination) is available on request
