Shell-and-tube heat exchangers Quality and safety – for series model or custom solution
In the shell-and-tube heat exchanger segment, FUNKE has a proven range of series models and tailored custom solutions. Our product range also includes safety heat exchangers and therefore has solutions for all thermodynamic requirements in mechanical and system engineering.
FUNKE shell-and-tube heat exchangers
Our shell-and-tube heat exchangers for universal use in mechanical and system engineering are predominantly used to cool fluids such as lubricating and hydraulic oil or water, and for heating on the basis of saturated steam. Water, water/glycol mixtures or seawater can be used as cooling media. Whether it is a series model or a custom solution, more than 200 graduated sizes in various material designs form the basis for optimal and detailed type selection.

Custom solutions, shell-and-tube heat exchangers
In addition to its series models, FUNKE supplies custom solutions in the shell-and-tube heat exchanger segment. The requirements of the customer are given top priority. As part of the project engineering, the optimal thermodynamic solution is developed on the basis of the operating data, building regulations and specifications. We are committed to finding a technically and economically optimised solution that fully satisfies both the needs of the customer and our standards for maximum system safety and efficiency.
We produce custom shell-and-tube heat exchangers with diameters of up to 3,000 mm and maximum weights of up to 60 t. Custom external and internal coatings can also be realised, such as seawater- and acid-resistant coatings on the inside of the tubes and on the tube bundles.
Series of custom shell-and-tube heat exchangers
CP (TEMA type W)
Design features
- Robust design, removable smooth tube or finned tube bundle facilitates inspection
- Safety sealing of the floating tube sheet thanks to two seals and intermediate ring with signal holes
Application
For universal use for the heat exchange of fluids and the cooling of gases. Typical applications: oil cooling in hydraulics, in large engines and in shipbuilding. Can be used as intermediate cooler and aftercooler for compressors, as condenser etc.
A-100 (TEMA type W)
Design features
- 1-way, removable smooth tube bundle with floating base

Application
A heat exchanger that is suitable for the thermal treatment of various media, air or gases. Can be used as intermediate cooler or aftercooler.
C-200 (TEMA type M)
Design features
- Non-removable tube bundle with or without compensator in the shell
- Very good heat transfer performance thanks to maximum exchange area in the shell
Application
For cooling and heating various media and for use in various processes in mechanical and system engineering.
C-300 (TEMA type U)
Design features
- The removable U-tube bundle with ring seal enables greater length differences resulting from different heat expansion between shell and inner tubes
Application

FUNKE safety heat exchangers
Shell-and-tube heat exchanger in safety design
In the chemicals, pharmaceutical or food industries, shipbuilding or energy generation – safety heat exchangers are used wherever strict requirements apply to product cleanliness in process technology, contamination of cooling or process water would pose an environmental risk or media mixing could result in machine or system damage. This is made possible by a double-tube system with the medium being directed into a safety zone if a tube defect occurs and this zone being monitored by the system monitoring. This means that leaks can be detected early on and media mixing can be avoided.
How safety heat exchangers work
V = equalising tank, P = pressure monitor, yellow area = safety zone
