known as the lanced or
multi-entry pattern.
Chart process engineers have a wealth of experience and test data to use
in selecting the most appropriate heat transfer fin for the customer’s
individual requirements.
The herringbone and serrated fins provide the greatest surface area and the
highest heat transfer performance. They are particularly suitable for applications
involving close temperature approaches. Where there are critical pressure drop
requirements the plain and perforated fins can be used.

Chart’s Core-in-Kettle® heat exchangers are designed to replace shell-and-tube heat exchangers with the direct benefits
of lower installation costs, reduced operating costs, less replacement time and reduced horsepower requirements.The high
performance of Chart Core-in-Kettle heat exchangers will greatly improve the efficiency and economy of chillers,
vaporizers, reboilers and condensers.The Core-in-Kettle design is so efficient that tight approach temperatures down to
2°F (1°C) may be used, thereby increasing plant capacity and reducing horsepower requirements.
