RE: Breech Lock Type Exchanger
The google search for Breach Lock brought up the owner of this device and his website, including detailed description of the exchangers using this proprietary closure device. Look-up on the Koch Heat Transfer Company's website and you have all the answers and more in there.

As I said, all the info is in the Koch site;- however yes, the Breech Lock type of closure can be attached to a shell and tube exchanger and from the Koch site, you can see that they build this type of exchanger for high pressure and high temperature used in hydrocracking processes. Typical refinery applications are pictured over the website. They fabricate (and sell) horizontal and vertical exchangers with the Breech-Lock closures, in many configurations including shell and tube exchangers. Please follow the links leading to Koch Heat Transfer Company's site or please type in Google the name "Koch Heat Transfer Company".
Best of luck,

Checkout the Hemilok from Yuba.
Click on the Hemilok Brochure for information on the closure.

Could you please share with us, what is doing an electrical engineer with the assessment of suitability of Breech-Lock device on any heat exchanger? Pure curiosity!

A senior transgression, I came in by way of the Brown Fin Tube route and it just didn't register as it had been over 15 minutes since I had read and posted the first time.
