Curran International offers tube sheet coating services to restore condensers and exchangers for years of reliable performance. Our tube sheet coating system uses 100% solids and provides a barrier to cooling water erosion. Tube sheet coating also protects against galvanic attack when alloy tubes are used for cooling water.

Curran 500 is a robust polymeric system that encapsulates the crevice joint between tube and tube sheet joints and adds mechanical strength to restore operational integrity for years. This high gloss application resists cooling water fouling and scale attachment. Curran 500 is specified for use on steal condensers, lube oil coolers, Balance of Plant Exchangers, and HVAC chillers.

Eroded Condenser Tube Sheet
Condenser tube sheet after years in sea water service. A combination of galvanic attack and erosion at inlet tube sheets reduced operating integrity.

The Curran 500 tube sheet coating system is suitable for cooling tower, natural source (fresh or saltwater), and reservoir cooling water systems. It is an immersion service coating and resistant in all cooling water services. A protective system can be achieved in a two-coat brush and roll application. A trowel-applied component is used when a high build epoxy cladding is specified to restore pitted tube sheets.

Curran International provides expert field coating applications for condenser tube sheet and water box coating projects and plant maintenance outages.

Tube Sheet Coating Restoration
Curran tube sheet coating restoration, performed in-situ. The thick film epoxy coating application sealed joint crevices and restored tube sheet with a protective barrier. A coating plug is used to form a flared opening into the tube ID.
