Description
One of the most popular heat exchanger types is shell and tube heat exchangers, which are used in a wide range of pressure and temperature due to their capacity. Simply put, a shell and tube heat exchanger is a device that uses tubes inside an outer cylindrical shell to create a thermal contact between two working fluids. These two integral paths are usually made of thermally conductive metals (steel, aluminum alloys, etc.) that allow easy heat transfer.
-
These devices are among the most effective heat exchange tools because they perform excellent heat transfer.
-
These are compact and easy to build and maintain
-
They are widely used in industries such as condensers, evaporators, turbine coolers, feedwater preheating, etc..
-
The partition plate separates the lower and upper halves of the heat exchanger.
