When fouling and poor heat transfer start affecting performance
For many sites, fouling impacts more than maintenance. It can reduce efficiency, increase cleaning, raise energy use, and affect uptime.
Dimpleflo helps by improving heat transfer and reducing rapid fouling build-up, especially in difficult process fluids.

How Dimpleflo works
Dimpleflo’s patented dimpled tube technology increases turbulence inside the tube, breaking down the laminar boundary layer that restricts heat transfer. This lets thermal energy move more efficiently through the exchanger. The technology is also suitable for tube replacement in existing equipment where appropriate.
Features
Key performance features that make Dimpleflo™ heat exchangers stand out in demanding applications.
Enhanced Fluid Turbulence
Dimpled tubing creates turbulence and high Reynolds numbers in the fluid flow.
High-Pressure Capability
Suits high pressure applications up to 25 bar - internal tube design.
High-Temperature Performance
Suits use with steam and high temperatures up to 250 degreesC.
Versatile Fluid Handling
Suitable for heating and cooling of any pumpable fluid.
Custom Dimple Configurations
Varying Dimple Design Combinations for Specific Duties.
Space-Saving Compact Design
Existing heat exchangers han be re-tubed with Dimpleflo tubing and achieve up to 50% additional capacity in the same shell or footprint.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Built for demanding industries and difficult fluids

What is Dimpleflo showcasing at AIChE 2026?
Dimpleflo will present its dimpled tube technology, highlighting up to 40 per cent higher heat transfer coefficients than conventional smooth tubes and a reduction in fouling rates of up to 60 per cent in tested applications.
These enhancements lead to greater energy efficiency, lower maintenance, and improved performance for demanding industrial applications.
Who should meet with the Dimpleflo team at AIChE 2026?
This event is ideal for engineers, plant operators, technical buyers, project teams, and businesses looking to improve exchanger performance, manage challenging fluids, or consider tube replacement.
Can I discuss heat exchanger tube replacement with Dimpleflo at the event?
Yes. If you are evaluating an underperforming exchanger or seeking an upgrade, the Dimpleflo team can discuss tube replacement options and their suitability for your needs.
The typical retrofit process involves an initial assessment of your existing heat exchanger, removal of old tubes, installation of Dimpleflo tubes, and pressure testing to ensure proper function.
Most retrofits can be completed within a scheduled maintenance window, often resulting in minimal downtime depending on site conditions.
The team will help you plan the process and expected timelines for your plant.
Is Dimpleflo suitable for fouling and difficult fluid applications?
Yes. Dimpleflo is engineered for challenging applications involving fouling, viscous, abrasive, or solids-laden fluids where standard tubes may not perform effectively.
Dimpleflo tubes are available in stainless steel, titanium, and various alloys to meet diverse process requirements. Standard designs are rated for operating pressures up to 25 bar; higher-pressure options are available on request.
However, Dimpleflo may not be suitable for extremely high-pressure fluids or highly corrosive environments that require specialised materials.
The Dimpleflo team can help determine the best fit for your specific process conditions.
How can I book a meeting with Dimpleflo at AIChE 2026?
You can discuss process challenges, heat transfer limitations, fouling issues, operating conditions, and whether Dimpleflo technology is suitable for your site or project.
