Parts of shell and tube type heat exchanger
- Shell , or pressure vessel – is where a cooling or heating fluid will flow through to transfer heat or remove heat from a tube bundle.
- T ube bundle –The bundle is inserted into the pressure vessel and process fluid is run through for heating or cooling purposes.
- Tube Sheet – The tube sheet is used to support and isolate the tubes within a shell and tube heat exchanger.
- Baffles – Baffles are plates that direct shell fluid flow around the tube bundle to promote heat transfer.
