Header Tank Heat Exchangers

Product catalog summary
Overview
Bowman Header Tank heat exchangers are designed for efficient engine cooling where air cooling is not feasible. They have been used for over 50 years in applications such as marine propulsion, power generation, automotive testing, and fire protection systems.
Design and Features
The exchangers feature a 'quiet zone' design with de-aeration and a pressurized filler cap to enhance thermal performance. The 'fully floating' tubestack design reduces thermal stress, improving reliability and longevity. Maintenance is simplified with removable tubestacks and end covers.
Product Range
Bowman offers a range of heat exchangers, including single, double, and triple pass units for different flow rates. Options are available for marine and land-based applications, with titanium tubestacks for aggressive water conditions.
Applications
Marine-grade exchangers are designed for seawater, featuring cupro-nickel tube stacks and corrosion-resistant end covers. Land-based exchangers use cupro-nickel or copper tube stacks, with cast iron end covers as standard.
Specifications and Selection
A computer program helps select the appropriate heat exchanger based on parameters like heat dissipation and water flow rate. Bespoke designs are available for specific engines.
Technical Specifications
Detailed specifications include maximum raw water flow rates, material options for end covers, and dimensions, along with maximum working pressures and temperatures.
Installation and Maintenance
Installation guidelines include mounting the exchanger above the engine’s cylinder head and ensuring a self-venting water circuit. Maintenance involves routine cleaning and replacing ‘O’ rings for a watertight seal.
Materials and Durability
Titanium tube stacks offer resistance to aggressive water conditions and chemical attacks, with a 10-year guarantee. They allow higher flow rates without tube erosion.
Recommendations
Use ethylene glycol solutions as per engine manufacturer recommendations. Consider installing an automatic engine shutdown system for unattended operations.
Certifications
The exchangers comply with BS EN ISO 9001-2000 standards, ensuring quality and reliability.
