Vertical Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers

 

Vertical Shell and tube heat exchanges consist of a series of tubes. The second fluid runs over the tubes that are being heated or cooled so that it can either provide the heat or absorb the heat required.

 

A vertical shell and tube heat exchanger in which the tubes extend through oversized holes in a liquid distribution plate. Liquid flows through the holes and down each tube exterior surface as a falling film. A spacer or clip, desirably of wire, is placed in each hole around each tube to center the tube so that the film has a uniform thickness. The clip is self-locking and remains fixed securely in position. Vertical Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger is a heat exchanger that is derived from its parent Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger and it is most commonly all Industries which involves higher-pressure and Higher Temperature applications.

One set of these tubes contains the fluid that must be either heated or cooled. Vertical Shell Tube

   Specifications :-

Vertical Shell and tube heat exchangers consist of a series of tubes. One set of these tubes contains the fluid that must be either heated or cooled.

The second fluid :-

runs over the tubes that are being heated or cooled so that it can either provide the heat or absorb the heat required.

Applications : –

Vertical Shell Tube Heat Exchanger is widely used in variety of application as a cooling solution.
The most common among them is for cooling of Hydraulic Fluid and oil in engines, transmissions and hydraulic power packs.
With the right combination of materials they can also be used to cool or heat other mediums, such as swimming pool water or charge air.
Vertical Shell Tube Heat Exchanger also be used on fixed tube sheet heat exchangers

Advantages : –

They are commonly used in
space heating
refrigeration
air conditioning
power plants
chemical plants
petrochemical plants
petroleum refineries
natural gas processing
sewage treatment
