It was made by Brown-Fintube in 2004 who specified “VMU” on their datasheet – maybe it’s their own in-house designation.
Brief Details of the exchanger:
Horizontal
Shellside = 24”NB, single pass.
Tubeside = Fixed tubesheets and U-tube bundle, single pass
Tubeside Inlet / outlet channels/headers were actually a part of the attached piping and were not supplied by the exchanger manufacturer.

Thanks for the reply
I would have called it a hairpin heat exchanger - of which there are two types:
1. Double pipe section with one tube (which can be finned or bare) within each shell/pipe
2. Multi-tube section with multiple smaller tubes (either finned or bare) within each shell/pipe.
This one is the second option.
I was only interested to see if anyone had seen the designations VMU used before.
Cheers
