Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
- This heat exchanger is one of the most common type used in industry.
- This is because it is compact, but can work at higher pressures than other designs.
- It is a large tube which surrounds several smaller tubes (a bundle).
- Baffles around the bundle help to create a turbulent mixed flow.
- One fluid passes through the shell, and the other fluid passes through the tube bundle, therefore transferring heat.
