Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger

A shell and tube heat exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs. It is the most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and is suited for higher-pressure applications. As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes (through the shell) to transfer heat between the two fluids. The set of tubes is called a tube bundle, and may be composed of several types of tubes: plain, longitudinally finned, etc.

Types of Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers:

• Fixed Tube Sheet: Tubes are fixed to the shell, making it cost-effective but challenging to clean.
• U-Tube Design: Tubes are bent in a U-shape to allow for thermal expansion.
• Floating Head: Allows for easy cleaning and maintenance.
