A patented new technology called Corrugated Tube Support (CTS), having specially designed protrusions, successfully addresses all of the usual vibration problems. It also accompanies a specialized positioning tool so that precise installation is guaranteed every time. The CTS Technology also lends itself to another patent-pending device that is ideally suited to support and stiffen tubes in the U-bend regions. This technology also helps simplify fabrication of U-tube bundles by avoiding the need to use a âTie Plate,â which involves a cumbersome and expensive manufacturing step. The CTS Technology, representing a peace-of-mind solution to all vibration problems, is exclusively designed, fabricated and installed by Gulf Coast Exchanger, LLC (GCE) in Beaumont, Texas.
This paper will forcus on the extension of the CTS technology to solve vibration problems for U-tube bundles.
