Safety Tubes

Safety tubes are used for economical and safe heat transfer. The double wall tubes feature defined leakage paths for the absolutely reliable separation of fluids. For your individual requirements concerning fluid dynamics, we decide on the most suitable surface structure.

Gewa-safe Tubes for absolutely reliable media separation with best thermal contact

 

Our GEWA-safe tubes are a reliable and safe choice for applications such as the direct heating of drinking water using critical fluids as in heating technology or for controlling the temperature of sensitive chemical processes. 

 

Whether production processes with highly reactive media, the heating or cooling of food, nutrition or tap water – there are applications where there is no tolerance concerning contamination.

 

GEWA-safe tubes are a tube-in-tube solution featuring defined leakage paths in the tube wall. They enable a very compact design of safety heat exchangers, reducing material and labour costs as well as heat exchanger footprint.

 

Leakages of inner or outer tube are immediately recognizable and can be fixed as part of scheduled maintenance schemes. The excellent thermal conductivity is a result of the metallic contact between the two tubes and provides superior heat transfer as compared to solutions using heat transfer fluid.

 

  • Absolute reliable fluid separation due to double wall design with leak detection
  • Excellent heat transfer due to metallic contact without heat transfer fluid
  • More compact heat exchanger design, less footprint
  • Highest system availability, efficiency and safety
