What Are Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers?

Shell and tube heat exchangers are a common and highly effective method for transferring heat between fluids. These systems consist of a cylindrical shell housing a series of tubes, where one fluid flows through the tubes and another fluid flows around them, separated by a solid barrier. Shell and tube heat exchangers are widely used in:

• Power generation
• Oil and gas refining
• Chemical processing
• Food and beverage production
• Marine (onshore and offshore) applications
• HVAC systems

Their robust design makes them suitable for handling high-pressure and high-temperature processes.
