Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger
We design, manufacture and service shell and tube heat exchangers to suit your needs. These consist of a shell with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes to transfer heat between the two fluids. The tube bundle may be composed of several types of tubes. With a long and proven pedigree in heat exchange technology, our expertise and experience has gained the confidence and trust of world-leading businesses across all industry sectors. We supply shell and tube heat exchangers to OEM but also to end-users particularly in the oil and gas, chemical and power generation industry sectors.
Shell and tube heat exchangers are one of the most conventional types in many industries. These Heat Exchangers consist of three major sections:
1. Two Heads, include a Rear Head and a Stationary Head on both sides of the Heat Exchangers.
2. Shell
3. Tube
In this Heat Exchangers, one of the fluids, exchanges heat, flows inside the tube and the other fluid flows inside the shell. In this type, the heat transfer surface is metallic tube. So as we increase the tubes, the heat transfer will increased, too. But the diameter of the Heat Exchangers will also be increase. Based on the TEMA, one of the most important international standards in the field of construction, the other parts of this heat exchanger is as follows; Baffle, Tie rad, Spacer and etc.
One of the reasons of using this type of heat exchanger is its ease of maintenance, and it is the only device that can operate at temperatures more than of 360°C and a pressure of more than 30 bar. The shell & tube membranes are divided into three categories based on the difference in the rear head and is as follows:
1. Fixed tube sheet
2. U-type
3. Floating head
