Shell and tube heat exchanger is also called tubular heat exchanger. It is an inter wall heat exchanger with the wall of the tube bundle enclosed in the shell as the heat transfer surface. This kind of heat exchanger is simple in structure and reliable in operation. It can be made of various structural materials (mainly metal materials) and can be used under high temperature and high pressure. It is the most widely used type at present. Shell and tube heat exchanger plays an important role in chemical, petroleum, power, food and many other industrial production. In chemical production, it can be used as heater, cooler, condenser, evaporator and reboiler.
Shell and tube heat exchanger is composed of shell, tube bundle, tube sheet, baffle and tube box. The shell is mostly cylindrical, with tube bundle inside, and both ends of the tube bundle are fixed on the tube sheet. There are two kinds of cold and hot fluids for heat exchange, one flowing in the tube is called tube side fluid, and the other flowing outside the tube is called shell side fluid. In order to improve the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid outside the tube, several baffles are usually installed in the shell.
