Coaxial tube heat exchangers in copper and stainless steel for HVAC and heat pump applications

High-Efficiency Coaxial Tube Heat Exchangers for HVAC, Heat Pumps & Refrigeration

Coaxial Tube Heat Exchangers for HVAC/R Systems

Our coaxial tube heat exchangers feature a spiral-wound copper or stainless-steel inner tube housed in a robust outer shell. This design ensures high heat transfer efficiency, reduced fouling risk, and excellent corrosion resistance.

They are widely applied in air conditioning units, water chillers, and heat pump systems where stable performance and space-saving installation are required. The advanced design enables smooth refrigerant flow, low noise, and reduced energy consumption, making them an excellent choice for both residential and commercial HVAC/R applications.
