Does anyone know where I can buy a heat exchanger constructed with glass tubes?

I've see one, a recuperator in a brewery. I have seen adds for big air/air glass tubes HE’s for heat recovery units on air conditioning units.
We used several in our pilot plant but they were concentric glass tubes made in varying lengths

If you need to see the fluids inside the tubes, then glass tubes are probably the only acceptable material. Check with O-I /SCHOTT Process Systems, or CORNING Glass.
If you need corrosion resistance / minimal contamination for high purity, then a ceramic tube or a porcelain lined steel heat exchanger might be acceptable. There is a silicon carbide tube exchanger design available from www.dr-schnabel.com that would be stronger than a glass tubed unit.
