The Aspen® stainless steel tubed heat exchanger is compatible with deionized water and corrosive fluids and designed for reliability.
The Aspen stainless steel tubed heat exchanger combines low price and low pressure drop with excellent heat transfer and superior fluid integrity. The heat exchanger is compatible with deionized water and corrosive fluids and is designed for reliability with its 316L stainless steel tubing and its wavy fin edge that improves fin strength. The all-welded, argon-purged joints of the heat exchanger maximize its internal cleanliness, and the liquid return loops eliminate fluid contamination and reduce liquid pressure drop. The Aspen's wide tube spacing reduces cost, weight and liquid pressure drop.
Our best value stainless steel tubed heat exchanger: The Aspen offers excellent value — 80-90% the performance of competitive products at approximately half the price. We achieved this by using fewer tubes and increasing the fin density to balance the air and liquid sides. Our single piece formed aluminum frame/fan plate further reduces cost and weight.
Highly reliable: Like all Lytron heat exchangers, the Aspen is designed for reliability. 316L stainless steel fluid path with 0.02˝ (0.5 mm) wall thickness maintains deionized water and will not react with corrosive liquids. Aspen heat exchangers are 100% leak tested to 150 psi (10.3 bar).
Extremely clean: Our proprietary manufacturing process expands the tubes into the copper fin without the use of oils and our liquid return design eliminates potential particle trapping sites, which can contaminate cooling fluid. Argon-purged welded joints further ensure cleanliness.
Low air and liquid side pressure drop: The short fluid path minimizes the liquid side pressure drop, and our tube spacing and high performance fin reduce air side pressure drop.
Aspen or 4000 Series?
The Aspen offers 80% of the performance of the 4000 Series at approximately 50% of the cost. Where high performance in a small envelope is required, the 4000 Series is the best option. However, when a slightly lower performance/size ratio is acceptable, the Aspen offers better value. The Aspen also has lower air and liquid side pressure drops.
Standard heat exchangers can be purchased from our distributors. Lytron also accepts standard heat exchanger orders from OEMs for 10 or more heat exchangers and/or for prototyping purposes.
