A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs. [1] [2] It is the most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and is suited for higher-pressure applications. As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a bundle of tubes ...
English: Cross-sectional diagram of a Striaght-tube Heat Exchanger (shell-and-tube type). Arrows show fluid flow pathways on both shell and tube sides. Arrows show fluid flow pathways on both shell and tube sides.
A shell and tube heat exchanger Shell and tube heat exchanger. Shell and tube heat exchangers consist of a series of tubes which contain fluid that must be either heated or cooled. A second fluid runs over the tubes that are being heated or cooled so that it can either provide the heat or absorb the heat required.
English: Cross-section of a straight-tube (2-pass on tube side) shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Arrows indicate fluid flow paths on both shell and tube sides. Arrows indicate fluid flow paths on both shell and tube sides.

Rising Film Evaporator Diagram. A rising film or vertical long tube evaporator is a type of evaporator that is essentially a vertical shell and tube heat exchanger. The liquid being evaporated is fed from the bottom into long tubes and heated with steam condensing on the outside of the tube from the shell side.
Shell and tube heat exchangers consist of a tube bundle which is placed inside the larger shell. [2] Due to this design these exchanger require twice the footprint of the plate heat exchanger in order to perform maintenance. Depending on the amount of cooling needed, shell and tube heat exchangers can be built in single or double pass ...
Cross-sectional diagram of stirred tank reactor. Baffles are flow-directing or obstructing vanes or panels used to direct a flow of liquid or gas. It is used in some household stoves [1] and in some industrial process vessels (tanks), such as shell and tube heat exchangers, chemical reactors, and static mixers.
