Heat exchanger RFQ checklist
Enough stream data for an engineer to evaluate the duty. A drawing or purchaser specification is preferred. This is not a retail price request.
Open the technical RFQ formMinimum process data
- Duty (heat load) if known, or enough stream data to calculate it
- Hot and cold fluid identities / services
- Mass or volumetric flow rates
- Inlet and outlet temperatures (both sides if available)
- Operating and design pressures
- Allowable pressure drop (shell and tube)
- Fouling factors if specified by the process licensor or plant standard
- Preferred materials of construction
- Applicable design code (TEMA class, ASME, IS, or client spec)
- Quantity, delivery location, and any drawing / P&ID / datasheet upload
If duty is unknown, complete both streams so it can be calculated. Missing one side is the usual reason an RFQ cannot be engineered.
Files worth uploading
- Thermal datasheet or process data sheet (PDF / Excel)
- GA drawing, P&ID extract, or purchaser specification
- CAD (DWG / DXF) when the buyer already holds an approved design
- Inspection / TPI requirements if they exist as a document
