DXT EVAPORATORS
 

Heavy-Duty Construction - 5 to 250 tons
ACME® type DXT evaporator features the heavy-walled 3/4” OD enhanced tubing and ring and cover construction for ease of service.

Modern Tube Materials
ACME® DXT evaporators utilize the latest technology tubing engineered specifically for refrigerant evaporation. Special enhancements produce exceptional performance and efficiency. Refrigerant boils readily against the surface, reducing the overall vessel size and cost. The new generation of DXT vessels features heavy-duty ring and cover head fabrications and 3/4" OD tube materials to perform reliably in most HVAC and industrial applications.

Modifications
Vessels are available in “Direct Expansion” or “Flooded” designs in standard or special materials and nozzle orientations. Evaporators can be made from all 316 stainless steel for directly cooling acids or other corrosive liquids. If your application calls for something special, just ask.

Controlled Velocities
DX evaporators are carefully engineered to provide excellent heat transfer rates, and to prevent oil holdup in the tubes and refrigerant heads. Shell circuits are engineered to provide high performance with a low pressure drop to conserve the required pumping power. Vessels can be engineered for very high chilled water flows for specific applications such as ice-rinks.

Multi-Circuit Flexibility
Vessels are available with up to four separate circuits, depending on diameter. Multiple circuit vessels can be engineered for equal circuit capacity with refrigerant connections on one end of the vessel or unequal circuit capacity with connections on opposite ends to ease piping of multiple compressor systems.
