If your refinery or chemical plant doesn't need to keep products at the right temperature, you need a heat exchanger. Shell and tube heat exchanger is the most common type of heat exchanger. A shell and tube heat exchanger consists of an outer shell and a bundle of tubes inside. A fluid flows through the tube while another fluid flows through the tube. This results in heat transfer between the fluids.
Advantages of shell and tube heat exchangers
Shell and tube heat exchangers are relatively inexpensive because they consist of tubes.
With an aerodynamic design, they can support higher operating temperatures and pressures than other types of heat exchangers. Shell and tube heat exchangers are suitable for high pressure applications. Plus, they help you save on energy costs.
Features of shell and tube heat exchangers:
Custom and Standard Designs
U-tube and straight tube designs
Carbon steel, stainless steel and rare alloy materials
ASME Mass and Stamping
