The Lynxcool Shell-and-Tube Evaporator is a high-performance, pressure-vessel-grade heat exchanger designed as the primary evaporating component in industrial refrigeration and process-cooling systems. In this configuration, refrigerant boils on the shell side (flooded or direct-expansion) while the process fluid — water, brine, glycol solution, or industrial liquid — circulates through the tube bundle, releasing heat into the refrigerant and exiting at the required chilled temperature.
