SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The shell and tube heat exchanger is one of the most used type in industry.
In this exchanger, the cold fluid passes through a number of parallel tubes and the hot fluid goes through a chamber containing the small cold tubes, thus producing heat transfer.
The advantage of this type of heat exchanger is the compact design and the possibility to work at higher pressures than other types.
This exchanger can operate with current or countercurrent flows.
