Flexible Turbulators

Product Details

This is a unique Turbulator. Here the wire forms concentric circular loops which are twisted around a flexible central wire spine. These circular loops all slant in one direction. (Opposing the flow of the fluid). The slant of the loops makes it very easy to pull the turbulator through the tube in one direction but is difficult to pull through the tube in the opposite direction. The Fluid in the tube also presses the loops against the wall of the tube providing a tight pressure fit.These turbulators are provided with a hook at one end for pulling through the tube. At the other end depending on the fluid flow characteristics an anchor can be provided.The wire loops in the face of the fluid flow provides good turbulation at reasonable pressure drop given the low resistance of the cylindrical wire redirects the fluid flow within the tube and maximizes its impact with the tube wall.  This type of Turbulator has the following advantages. Inexpensive and thus cost effective.Very easy to insert.Can be removed for cleaning the tube.Can be reused a few times after cleaning.Good heat transfer at low pressure drop.Since there is no solder involved it can withstand high temperatures.
