Purpose of a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

Shell and Tube heat exchanger are a very common type of heat exchangers which are generally used in air and oil cooling. These heat exchangers are designed to work at various temperatures and pressure conditions. Shell and Tube heat exchangers contain several tubes covered by a cylindrical shell. They work by exchanging the heat between two fluids. One fluid flow inside the tubes and the other remains outside of the tube which is contained by the shell.

Shell and Tube Failure Modes

Corrosion due to the fluid flowing through the heat exchanger.

Clogging of the tubes.

Cracks at the spiral portion due to high temperature working conditions.
