Plumbers, Pipe-fitters and Steam-fitters

 Plumbers are not Pipe-fitters.  Each has specific skill sets.

Steam Fitters...have specific skill sets that are NOT akin to Pipe Fitting and Plumbing.

POINT...if it's a STEAM job...don't hire any outfit that does not provide TENURED, SKILLED steam fitters.

Best Practices with steam fitting is not something to lay off on a jack of all trades.

Heat Exchangers Hammering? Tube Bundles Fouling and Failing?

Do you have heat exchangers (i.e. Reboilers) HAMMERING and/or losing tubes like this heat exchanger?  


This device is not evacuating condensate, thus the significant temperature differential.  This backing up of condensate in the heating space reduces surface area AND poses a potential for thermal and hydraulic shock that will damage tubes, create leaks and destroy equipment.  It also reduces throughput and can impact product quality.
