When to choose
- You need to heat or cool a process fluid using another fluid or utility
- The two fluids must stay separate
- The duty and layout call for a tubular design
Process Vessels & Equipment
Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger
A tube bundle inside a shell that transfers heat between two process fluids.
What it does
Process role
A shell-and-tube heat exchanger passes one fluid through a bundle of tubes while a second fluid flows around them inside the shell. Heat moves across the tube walls without the fluids mixing.
Configuration points
- Tube bundle layout and number of passes
- Shell and tube side nozzle arrangement
- Mounting orientation
- Tube and shell material selection for each fluid
- Design temperature and pressure for each side
Inputs to share
- Hot and cold fluid data
- Required inlet and outlet temperatures
- Heating and cooling of process streams
- Heat recovery between process fluids
