Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger is a robust and efficient device used for transferring heat between two fluids in a wide range of industrial processes. It consists of a series of tubes (tube bundle) enclosed within a cylindrical shell, where one fluid flows through the tubes, while the other fluid flows around the tubes within the shell. This design allows for efficient heat transfer between the fluids, making it ideal for oil and gas processing, chemical and petrochemical plants, power generation, HVAC systems, and other industrial applications.
The shell and tube configuration offers flexibility, durability, and ease of maintenance, and is capable of handling high pressures and temperatures, making it suitable for critical applications.
