Description

A shell and tube heat exchanger consists of components such as a shell, heat transfer tube bundle, tube plate, baffle plate (baffle), and tube box. The shell is mostly cylindrical, with a bundle of pipes installed inside, and the two ends of the bundle are fixed on the tube plate. There are two types of fluids for heat exchange: cold and hot. One flows inside the tube and is called the tube side fluid; Another type of flow outside the tube is called shell side fluid. To improve the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid outside the pipe, several baffles are usually installed inside the shell. Baffles can increase the fluid velocity on the shell side, forcing the fluid to pass through the tube bundle multiple times according to the specified path, and enhancing the degree of fluid turbulence. The heat exchange tubes can be arranged in equilateral triangles or squares on the tube plate. The equilateral triangle arrangement is relatively compact, with a high degree of turbulence in the fluid outside the pipe and a large heat transfer coefficient; A square arrangement makes cleaning outside the pipe convenient and suitable for fluids that are prone to scaling.
Main Control Parameters
Heating area, hot water flow rate, heat exchange capacity, and heat medium parameters.
Each time a fluid passes through a tube bundle, it is called a tube pass; Each pass through the shell is called a shell pass. The diagram shows the simplest single shell and single tube heat exchanger, abbreviated as Type 1-1 heat exchanger. To improve the fluid velocity inside the pipe, baffles can be installed inside the two ends of the pipe box to divide all pipes into several groups. In this way, the fluid only passes through a portion of the tube each time, so it travels back and forth multiple times within the tube bundle, which is called a multi tube pass. Similarly, to increase the flow velocity outside the pipe, longitudinal baffles can also be installed inside the shell to force the fluid to pass through the shell space multiple times, known as multiple shell passes. Multi tube and multi shell processes can be used in conjunction.

It has broad application fields and can be widely used in fields such as thermal power, factories and mines, petrochemical industry, urban centralized heating, food and medicine, energy electronics, machinery and light industry, etc.
The heat transfer tube adopts copper tubes with rolled fins on the outer surface, which has a high thermal conductivity and a large heat transfer area.
The guide plate guides the shell side fluid to flow continuously in a zigzag shape inside the heat exchanger, and the spacing between the guide plates can be adjusted according to the optimal flow rate. The structure is sturdy and can meet the heat transfer needs of shell side fluids with high flow rates, even super large flow rates, and high pulsation frequencies.
When the shell side fluid is oil, it is suitable for heat exchange of low viscosity and cleaner oil.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the main components of a shell and tube heat exchanger?
It consists of a shell, a heat transfer tube bundle, a tube plate, baffle plates (baffles), and a tube box. The fluid flows both inside the tubes (tube side) and outside the tubes (shell side) to perform heat exchange.
Q: What is the difference between equilateral triangle and square arrangements of tubes?
An equilateral triangle arrangement is compact, generating higher fluid turbulence and a larger heat transfer coefficient. A square arrangement provides wider spacing, making mechanical cleaning of the outer tube surfaces easier, which is ideal for scaling-prone fluids.
Q: What temperatures and pressures can this heat exchanger withstand?
This high-performance stainless steel heat exchanger is designed to handle high temperature environments up to 400 ℃ and high working pressures up to 2.5Mpa.
Q: How do baffles improve the efficiency of the heat exchanger?
Baffles increase the fluid velocity on the shell side and force the fluid to pass through the tube bundle multiple times along a specified path. This enhances fluid turbulence, thereby significantly improving the overall heat transfer coefficient.
Q: What are the typical applications for shell and tube heat exchangers?
They are widely used in thermal power, factories and mines, the petrochemical industry, urban centralized heating, food and medicine, energy electronics, machinery, and light industries due to their durability and high thermal conductivity.
