SHELL TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER
In tube heat exchangers, heat transfer surface consists of
tubes.
It is the most widely used heat exchanger in industrial
facilities such as iron and steel, petroleum, petrochemical, gas, power plants,
food, pharmaceuticals, leather, textiles, air conditioning, ships and maritime
sectors.
The heat exchangers used in the industries can be used in
all sectors where there is a second alternative energy requirement from an
alternative energy.
While one fluid runs through the tubes, other fluid flows
outside the tubes but inside the shell as parallel or across the tubes. So,
heat is transferred over tube surfaces.
It can be produced as copper tube, bafon tube(CU-Ni),
stainless steel and steel.
