Four Types of Heat Exchanger Failures
      

U-tube heat exchangers usually provide a long service life with little or no maintenance because they do not contain any moving parts.

The choice of pressure will impact the selection of the heat exchanger and the steam trap for your application. In many cases, adequate performance can be obtained over a wide range of system pressures. However, failure to consider all of the system characteristics and components can lead to inefficient operation.
