Precision Equipments: A Leading Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Manufacturer
Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger: A Brief Overview A shell and tube heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat between two fluids that are not allowed to mix. The fluids flow through separate channels, with the shell containing the outer fluid and the tubes containing the inner fluid. The heat exchanger is typically made of a metal such as steel or copper, and the channels are often arranged in a spiral pattern to increase the surface area for heat transfer. Shell and tube heat exchangers are a versatile type of heat exchanger that can be used in a wide variety of applications. They are commonly used in the chemical, food, and power industries, as well as in other industries where heat transfer is required. How Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers Work Shell and tube heat exchangers work by the principle of conduction. The hot fluid flowing through the shell transfers heat to the tubes, which are filled with the cold fluid. The cold fluid then absorbs the heat from the tubes and is w...
