Stab-In Bundles for Process Heating Applications
Krueger Engineering and Manufacturing fabricates custom stab-in bundles for process heating and shell-and-tube bundle applications, supported by in-house machining, bundle fabrication, and ASME-certified manufacturing.
Custom Stab-In Bundles for Process Vessels and Heating Systems
Stab-in bundles are in-vessel heat-transfer assemblies designed to deliver process heating directly within process vessels. These units are commonly applied in reboiler-style service and other heating duties where compact integration and direct heat transfer are required. Our approach focuses on building bundles that fit the vessel geometry and support reliable thermal performance under operating conditions.
Krueger Engineering produces stab-in bundles using the efficient engineering and fabrication practices applied to our shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Our services include precision CNC tube-sheet drilling, custom tube arrangements, and U-tube or straight bundle types, depending on your needs. Our in-house production and assembly take place at our Houston facility, giving us full control over machining, welding, and bundle assembly. This integrated manufacturing approach allows us to deliver bundles that meet exact fit-up requirements and perform reliably in process service.
