API Basco
API Basco Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers
API Basco Type 500, HT, AHT and BWS, OP and TEMA Designed Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers
API Heat Transfer's extensive line of Basco/Whitlock 500, HT, AHT, BWS, BWU, OP and TEMA designated heat exchangers run the gamut, offering the benefits of ferrous and non- ferrous construction in highly standardized designs or fully engineered, TEMA designated heat exchangers. Standard units are dimensionally interchangeable with heat exchangers made by Thermal Transfer, ITT, Basco, Whitlock, Ketema, Young, and American Industrial among others API design advantages include increased corrosion resistance, maximum obtainment of tube quantity in a given diameter for better efficiency, and lower entrance velocity and pressure drop as a result of the dome shell nozzle.
