Heat exchangers
Types of heat exchangers
Heat exchangers are calculated to achieve optimum flow rates in relation to heat transfer. Materials are carefully selected to minimize erosion and corrosion and where possible readily available materials are used, in commercial sizes for short lead times and compatibility with future orders and rebuilds. Heat exchangers are tested in accordance with standard tests and hydrostatic test certificates are issued.

Main features
Standard compliance
For heat exchangers, at VR Ingeniería, we adhere to the highest standards and are certified with:
TEMA – (The Tubular Exchange Manufacturers Association): TEMA standards and software have gained worldwide acceptance as the authority in the mechanical design of shell and tube heat exchangers.
- Class R: Includes heat exchangers used in the oil industry and similar processes.
- Class C: Encompasses heat exchangers in commercial and general processes.
- Class B: Includes heat exchangers used in chemical processes.
ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) has developed a code for the design, construction, inspection, and testing of boilers and pressure vessels. This code has global acceptance and is used worldwide. VR Ingeniería currently holds certification with:
- (Pressure Vessels Section VIII Division 1) ASME U – Pressure vessels
- (Pressure Vessels Section VIII Division 2) ASME U2 – Pressure Vessels (Alternative Rules for Pressure Vessels)
- NACE MR-0103
- NACE MR-0175
- NACE SP-0472
- NACE 8X194
NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers)
is an organization that develops standards and requirements for materials
used in the production of oil and gas equipment.
