Tube Sheet Locator

 

TUBE SHEET LOCATOR AND TUBE EXPANDERS

The TSL-100 electronically locates a support sheet and sends a visual signal to the operator. This information can be transferred to existing equipment for accurate positioning and expanding. The unit is remote battery powered & comes with a battery charger/AC adaptor. A lockable carrying case and many other accessories are supplied with the unit so you are ‘ready to go’.

Internal Tube Expander

The ITE-100 is designed to expand 3/4” (copper) condenser tubes and evaporator tubes in a variety of refrigeration units at the support sheets, thus eliminating vibration and subsequent tube and saddle wear.

ITE-100 / TSL-100 Combination

The ITE-100 and the TSL-100 may be combined, thus creating an efficient method for quick and accurate tube expansions. With the addition of a locking mechanism, the operator simply locates the support sheet, locks the position, moves to the expansion position, and expands .. all in just seconds! The combination kit comes complete with the locator, expander, and locking positioner.

Features and Benefits

  • Flexible hose design eliminates the long rods and end clearance problems they created
  • Self contained, and easy to use
  • Effective on all non-ferrous tubes having .515” inside diameter or larger (standard tooling for 3/4” -- other sizes optional)
  • Rechargable battery of 115v AC
  • Accurate, quick, and durable

Operation

The Probe & Hose Assembly and the Control Box are connected via a Control Cable with two locking connectors. The Control Box is mounted onto the operator’s belt, where it is easy to read & hands free. The unit is now ready to operate. The Probe & Hose Assembly is inserted & fed into the tube end. The probe is moved inward until the LED Visual Readout signals a successful locating of the first support sheet. Without removing the Hose & Probe Assembly, the operator marks the location on the exposed hose using special tape, which is supplied with unit. The operator then continues inserting the Probe further into the tube until all support sheets have been located & marked on the hose. Once the last sheet is located, the probe & hose assembly is then completely removed from the vessel. Each tape marking is then measured to the probe head. These measurements can be used for accurate removal of old tubes and the expansion of new tubes. Keep in mind that this tool can be used to estimate a retubing or repair project. You will know just how many support sheets the vessel contains.
