shell and tube heat exchanger
Shell and tube heat exchangers are widely favoured for their adaptability to diverse pressure and temperature ranges, making them a staple in various industries. Regardless of industry application, these exchangers share common features. They consist of a cylindrical shell housing numerous tubes. The exchange of heat occurs between two fluids: one flowing over the outer surface of the tubes, and the other passing through them. These fluids can be single or two-phase and may follow parallel or cross/counter flow arrangements.
The key components of a shell and tube heat exchanger include:
1. Front Header: Also known as the Stationary Header, this is where the fluid enters the tube side of the exchanger.
2. Rear Header: Positioned at the opposite end of the front header, this is where the tube side fluid exits the exchanger or is returned to the front header in multi-pass exchangers.
3. Tube Bundle: Comprising the tubes, tube sheets, baffles, and tie rods, the tube bundle holds the structure together.
4. Shell: This encases the tube bundle, providing structural integrity and containment.
Shell and tube heat exchangers facilitate efficient heat transfer between fluids in various industrial processes. Their versatility, coupled with a robust design, ensures widespread applicability and effectiveness across diverse operating conditions.
