Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are suitable for a range of pressure and temperature conditions and can be robust enough to handle corrosive or even lethal fluids. These industrial workhorse exchangers enable heat transfer between two independent pressurized chambers through the wall of the tubes.
Shell-and-tube designs incorporate fixed or floating tubesheets, fixed or removable tube bundles and expansion joints as needed to create an effective heat transfer vessel. Gain a better understanding of the TEMA types to improve your selection process.
Among the most common types of heat transfer equipment used in industrial applications are the various configurations of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Suitable for a range of pressure and temperature conditions, shell-and-tube heat exchangers can be robust enough to handle corrosive or even lethal fluids.
