Double pipe heat exchangers are the simplest of all types. They are fabricated from two pieces of pipe – one inside the other. One fluid flows through the inner pipe while the second fluid flows through the annulus between the pipes Advantages •Inexpensive •True counter current or co-current flow •Easily designed for high pressure service...

Shell and tube heat exchanger The principle components are: •shell •shell cover •tubes •channel •channel cover •tube sheet •baffles, and •nozzles Other components include tie-rods and spacers, pass partition plates (channel partitions), impingement plates, longitudinal baffles, sealing strips, and supports

Shell and tube heat exchangers have the following advantages:

Shell and tube heat exchangers are known as the work-horse of the chemical process industry and represent the most widely used vehicle for transfer of heat in industrial applications. In essence, a shell and tube exchanger is a pressure vessel with many tubes inside of it. One process fluids flows through the tubes of the […]
