UC Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The UC/UCV Series are water-cooled shell and tube heat exchangers designed for applications with large temperature differentials. They feature copper and steel construction, removable tube bundles, and built-in expansion chambers to reduce thermal expansion stresses.
Features:
  • Steam and large temperature differentials handling
  • Removable tube bundle for easy servicing
  • 3/8” tubes with built-in expansion chamber
  • Threaded or flanged connections with mounting brackets included
  • Steel shell assembly
Options: A wide variety of materials and custom sizes/designs are available, including stainless steel hardware and mounting.
Ratings:
  • UC Series: Maximum shell pressure 250 psi, tube side pressure 150 psi, temperature 400°F
  • UCV Series: Maximum shell pressure varies (600-1700 psi), tube side pressure 150 psi, temperature 400°F
Materials:
  • UC/UCV Series: Copper tubes, steel tube sheets, steel/316L stainless steel shell, stainless steel baffles, cast iron end bonnets, steel mounting brackets, non-asbestos fiber/nitrile rubber gaskets, aluminum foil nameplate
  • USSC/USSCV Series: 316L stainless steel for tubes, tube sheets, shell, shell connections, baffles, end bonnets, steel mounting brackets, non-asbestos fiber/nitrile rubber gaskets, aluminum foil nameplate
Ordering Information: Model selection includes tube diameter, tube side passes (two or four), baffle spacing, cooling tube material, end bonnet material, tube sheet material, and zinc anodes.
Applications: UC units are suitable for quench oil coolers, liquid to liquid heaters, and barrel oil coolers for plastic extrusion machines. UCV units are ideal for steam to liquid heaters. The design allows for independent expansion and contraction of the shell and tube bundle, reducing temperature-dependent stresses.
Dimensions: Detailed dimensions are provided for both two-pass and four-pass models, with specific notes on piping hook-up and optional ASME/ANSI flange connections.
