B pool heat exchangers are characterized by high thermal efficiency. They are the perfect solution in high-flow systems, in particular pool systems of different types and sizes.
The HEXONIC B pool heat exchanger is a shell and tube heat exchanger designed for high thermal performance in high-flow systems, especially pool systems of different types and sizes. It is a proven solution where strong heat transfer, compact construction, and reliable long-term operation are required.
B type exchangers are equipped with straight corrugated tubes and can be used in systems with high medium flow in comparison to transferred thermal power. This makes them particularly well suited to pool and solar systems, as well as small oil preheating systems. The corrugated tube design intensifies heat exchange, improves self-cleaning performance, and helps reduce sediment formation, while the compact welded construction ensures durability and tightness.
Key Features
- High thermal efficiency: The B series is specifically described by HEXONIC as a high thermal performance solution for high-flow systems.
- Ideal for high-flow applications: The exchanger is designed for systems with high medium flow relative to transferred thermal power.
- Corrugated tube design: Straight corrugated tubes intensify heat exchange and improve self-cleaning possibilities.
- Reduced sediment accumulation: The turbulent flow created by the corrugated tube surface helps hinder sediment formation.
- Low pressure losses: The B series offers high flow rate with low pressure losses, which can eliminate the necessity to use bypasses.
- Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel construction makes the exchanger appropriate for pools with treated water and resistant to aggressive substances in pool water such as fluorine and chlorine.
- Compact size: The live page highlights compact dimensions as one of the core product features.
- Airtight welded design: The welded construction provides durability and reliable leak-tight operation.
