The tube side is made up of the channel, cover, flange, nozzles, tube sheet, and tube bundles. The shell side consists of a shell, cover, flange, nozzles, and support. How a Tube Heat Exchanger WorksĪ shell and tube heat exchanger has two basic components, which are the shell and channel, or tubes. The number of tubes vary according to the design of the heat exchanger with number of tubes being odd or even depending on the type of tube passes. The variations in the type of flow can be parallel or cross. The transfer of heat in a shell and tube heat exchanger is decided by the exposed surface area and the number of thermally conductive tubes. The exchange process happens when a cold fluid enters the shell through the inlet nozzle and exits as a hot fluid. The process includes the flow of fluids inside the tubes of the exchanger and the shell. When describing a heat exchanger, it is commonly referred to as a shell and tube heat exchanger since both elements of the device work together to cool and heat liquids and gases. This aspect of their operation prevents the rise in heat and keeps the manufacturing process safe.
They are typically used with equipment that generates heat during operation and assist in controlling and removing the heat. This particular characteristic makes them useable for the heating or cooling of liquids and gases. Tube heat exchangers are highly adaptable and can be used for a wide variety of applications.
