Double-Wall Copper Tube

COBREX Double Walled Heat Exchangers

Shell and Tube Copper Heat Exchangers

Cobrex is a straight, shell and double wall tube, heat exchanger with visual leak detection. A one-pass vertical design, it is constructed entirely of pure copper with internally corrugated tubes, and closely spaced directional baffles, for maximum heat transfer.

Cobrex is an ideal solution for tankless instantaneous, and semi-instantaneous, hot water generation.

    Unique Double-Wall System

    Double wall tube with visual leak detection offers a higher degree of safety in the event of tube wall breach.

    COBREX has a unique double-wall corrugated tubes design.  The inner  tubes are helically corrugated to induce a turbulent flow of the steam that maximizes heat transfer and prevents scaling.
