How shell and tube heat exchangers are valued
Tube bundles are commonly carbon steel, 304/316 stainless, admiralty brass, cupro-nickel, or titanium. The tube material is the single biggest driver of resale value — a titanium or cupro-nickel bundle can be worth several times a carbon steel equivalent.
Key value drivers for your shell and tube heat exchanger:
- Surface area (square feet) and tube count
- Tube and shell material (titanium > cupro-nickel > stainless > carbon steel)
- TEMA designation (BEM, AES, BEU, etc.) and design pressure
- Whether the bundle is straight-tube (removable) or U-tube
- ASME stamp, U-1 data report, and remaining wall thickness
