Shell and tube heat exchanger
MX Machinery

Shell and tube heat exchangers are a type of heat exchanger that have a bundle of tubes inside a shell. Fluids at different temperatures run through the shell and the tubes. As the fluids pass through the respective chambers, heat exchange takes place between them.

Heat exchangers are devices that help in efficient heat exchange from one medium to another. The media are separated from each other with solid material so that they never mix with each other. These devices are widely used in refrigeration, air conditioning, different types of power plants and natural gas processing units. Shell and tube heat exchangers are a class of heat exchanger that is most suitable for high pressure applications. They are most popularly used in oil refineries and other units involving large chemical processes.
