Shell & Tube Water-to-Oil Heat Exchangers for Hydraulic Cooling

The Thermal Transfer Products B/SB Series is a bare-tube-bundle, fixed-tube-sheet shell and tube heat exchanger designed for water-to-oil cooling. It’s used to cool hydraulic oil in a wide range of industrial systems — hydraulic power units, injection molding machines, test benches, and general process cooling — and its highly standardized design keeps cost down while still accommodating multiple application requirements.

The series is built for flexibility in optimizing pressure drop and heat transfer. The 700 and 1000 sizes offer a 3/8″ tube option for lower pressure drop, while the ¼″ tube provides greater surface area, and multiple baffle-spacing options let you fine-tune thermal performance for your flow rates and cooling load.

Two constructions cover different needs. The B Series is a non-ferrous, brass-construction unit, making it ideal for water-to-water cooling and sea water applications; 90/10 copper-nickel tubing, bronze bonnets, and zinc anodes are available for marine and corrosive-water service. The SB Series is a competitively priced steel version of the same design, used mainly for standard hydraulic oil cooling where water-to-water or sea water service isn’t required.

Application engineers can help size the right model for your system, and the XSelector® sizing program is available online and as a mobile app to optimize product selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a bare-tube-bundle shell and tube heat exchanger from Thermal Transfer Products, used for water-to-oil cooling — most commonly cooling hydraulic oil in industrial systems.

The B Series is non-ferrous brass construction, suited to water-to-water and sea water cooling. The SB Series is a competitively priced steel version of the same design, used mainly for standard hydraulic oil cooling where corrosive or sea water service isn’t a factor.

Hydraulic power units, injection molding machines, test benches, and general process cooling — anywhere hydraulic oil needs to be cooled by water.

On the 700 and 1000 sizes, a 3/8″ tube reduces pressure drop, while a ¼″ tube increases surface area for more heat transfer. Multiple baffle-spacing options let you tune heat transfer to your flow rate and cooling load.

Yes — the brass B Series is designed for water-to-water and sea water service, with 90/10 copper-nickel tubing, bronze bonnets, and zinc anodes available for marine and corrosive-water applications.

Maximum operating pressure is 250 PSI (shell side) and 150 PSI (tube side), with a maximum operating temperature of 350°F.
