Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger

The shell and tube heat exchanger is the equipment used in industries to exchange heat between two or more fluids. The machinery consists of several tubes mounted inside the cylindrical shell. Mostly two fluids can exchange heat. One flows over the outside of the tube, while the second one flows through the tube. The fluid can be a single or two phases and can flow in a parallel or cross/counter flow arrangement. This machinery is highly known for its efficiency, …

A shell and tube heat exchanger is a commonly used heat transfer system. It has a huge cylindrical shell that houses several parallel tubes. These tubes are positioned inside the shell which helps transmit heat between two fluids. Heat exchangers are popular because of their efficiency and they are available in a variety of configurations based on the application, tube design, and other characteristics. Shell & tube exchangers are made from tubes for transferring heat between fluids at high temperatures. …
