Sanitary Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchangers: Precision, Purity, and Performance for Critical Applications

In industries where hygiene and process integrity are paramount—like pharmaceuticals, biotech, and personal care—the sanitary tube-in-tube heat exchanger is a trusted solution for heat transfer in low-flow, high-pressure applications. Its smooth, seamless internal surfaces and drainable design make it ideal for sanitary processes requiring exacting cleanliness standards.

Exergy’s tube-in-tube exchangers are engineered with full attention to cleanability and product safety, minimizing dead legs and crevices where contamination could occur. The concentric tube design ensures optimal thermal performance while maintaining strict separation between product and service fluids.

Key sanitary features include:

  • Seamless tubing and electropolished finishes that meet ASME BPE and cGMP standards.

  • Drainable, self-cleaning geometry that supports CIP/SIP protocols.

  • No gaskets or elastomers in the product path—reducing risk of microbial growth or extractables.

  • Custom configurations for vertical or horizontal mounting to suit your process layout.

This exchanger type is especially effective for viscous or sensitive fluids, where flow control and cleanliness cannot be compromised. Designed for long-term reliability, Exergy’s sanitary tube-in-tube heat exchangers ensure your process stays compliant, efficient, and contamination-free.
