The Data Center Cooling Challenge

It's Key For Reliability and Consistency To Stay The Same No Matter What Circumstances.

Continuous Cooling Reliability

Data centers operate 24/7 with zero tolerance for thermal failure. Process cooling water circuits and utility heat exchangers must deliver consistent performance without unplanned downtime — every maintenance window must be planned and rapid.

Cleanability & Maintenance Access

Cooling tower water and process loops introduce fouling that degrades thermal performance over time. Shell and tube designs with removable tube bundles and cleanable geometries protect uptime and maintain heat rejection efficiency.

Code Compliance & Documentation

Critical facility infrastructure requires ASME Code-compliant fabrication, full material traceability, hydrostatic testing, and complete documentation packages to satisfy commissioning and insurance requirements.

Basco™ Shell & Tube for Critical Facility Infrastructure.

Basco™ provides TEMA shell and tube and U-tube heat exchangers for the cooling water, process utility, and secondary loop circuits that form the thermal backbone of data center facilities.

U-Tube Exchangers for Cooling Loops

Basco™ U-tube designs for cooling tower water circuits and secondary loop isolation — providing thermal efficiency, low pressure drop, and free-floating bundle end for thermal cycling protection.

Type OP Maintenance-Friendly Design

O-ring protected construction allows tube-side inspection and cleaning without draining the shell side — minimizing maintenance windows in continuously operating facilities.

Custom TEMA Shell & Tube

Fixed tubesheet and floating head designs for process utility and heat recovery duties, engineered to ASME and TEMA standards with full documentation.

Cleanable & Replaceable Bundles

Removable tube bundle designs reduce fouling downtime and enable direct replacement — dimensional compatibility with installed units minimizes scheduled maintenance duration.

Close-Approach Thermal Performance

Process Utility & Secondary Loops

U-tube and TEMA shell and tube designs for secondary loop heat rejection and process utility duties in hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise facilities.

Continuous Duty Reliability

CRAC & Chiller Plant Support

Heat exchangers for chiller plant and CRAC unit support circuits — engineered for cleanability and rapid bundle replacement to minimize planned maintenance duration.

Cleanable, Replaceable Bundle

Replacement & MRO

Drop-in replacement shell and tube exchangers dimensionally compatible with legacy installed equipment — accelerating scheduled maintenance and reducing spare parts inventory complexity.
