A shell and tube heat exchanger is a partition type heat exchanger with the wall surface of the tube bundle enclosed in the shell as the heat transfer surface. This type of heat exchanger has a simple structure, low cost, wide flow cross-section, and is easy to clean scale; But with low heat transfer coefficient and large footprint. It can be made of various structural materials (mainly metal materials) and can be used under high temperature and high pressure, making it the most widely used type.

There are several types of shell and tube heat exchangers, including fixed tube plate steam water heat exchangers, shell and tube steam water heat exchangers with expansion joints, floating head steam water heat exchangers, U-shaped shell and tube steam water heat exchangers, corrugated shell and tube steam water heat exchangers, and segmented water water heat exchangers. The main control parameters of shell and tube heat exchangers are heating area, hot water flow rate, heat transfer capacity, and heat medium parameters.

We designs,manufactures and construction Shell & Tube heat exchangers in accordance with TEMA. TEMA Class “R” shell and tube heat exchangers for generally severe requirements of petroleum and related processing applications; TEMA Class “C” shell and tube heat exchangers for generally moderate requirements of commercial and general process applications and Class “B” for chemical process service.
