The Stone Process Equipment Co. is a manufacturer's representative organization specializing in equipment for the process industries. These industries are primarily the petroleum refining, chemical, and steel industries, as well as the many engineering firms which service these industries. We normally serve a territory of the United States including all of Ohio, western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and adjacent parts of Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan.

The types of equipment we specialize in include:

• ALL kinds of heat exchangers in ALL materials. Types include shell and tube, plate and frame (soon?), air-cooled exchangers, steam coil air heaters, and waste heat recovery units. Materials can be anything from carbon steel to high alloy stainless steels.
• Direct Fired Process Heaters
• Fabricated Vessels

The following are some of the manufacturers we work with:

Heat Transfer Equipment

• Cooling Products, Inc. - Air Cooled Heat Exchangers
• Optimized Process Furnaces, Inc. - Fired Heaters, Waste Heat Recovery Systems
• Anderson-Snow Inc. - Steam Coil Air Heaters or Air Cooling Coils
• Rubicon Industries, Inc. - Shell and Tube Exchangers of Carbon Steel and Stainless Alloys

Other Fluids Processing, Vessels, Custom Fabrications, and Environmental Systems

• Expert Industries, Inc. - Carbon Steel and High Alloy Tanks and Fabrications

This page is always being updated, and will will include more inquiry data sheets to help you better define your requirements and specifications.

We have a number of years experience in designing and working with Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers. This section includes a general description of where they are used, how they are constructed, and some comments about various features and options which we hope you will find helpful.

Lack or loss of performance in coolers seems to be rather common these days. Here are some ides on the subject, as well as some suggestions as to what you can do about it.

This data would be useful if you want to know about how large a normal shell and tube exchanger would be based on its surface area. It includes a table of sizes ranging from 6"X48" to 24"X192", and includes approximate weights also. There is a sketch showing the general configuration of this type of heat exchanger. The tube counts would need to be adjusted downwards if there are multiple tube passes where the pass partitions would reduce the total number of tubes in a given diameter shell. The chart is based on 3/4" diameter tubes only.
