As a trusted shell and tube heat exchanger manufacturer in India, ANPAM Engineering delivers high-performance solutions for businesses across multiple industries. Our designs focus on efficiency, durability, and adaptability, making them suitable for a wide range of heating and cooling applications.
What is a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger?
A shell and tube heat exchanger consists of a cylindrical shell that houses a bundle of tubes. One fluid flows through the tubes (tube-side), while another fluid moves around them within the shell (shell-side). This arrangement enables effective heat transfer between fluids while keeping them separate, ensuring process integrity and preventing cross-contamination.
Types of Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers
Single-Phase Heat Exchangers
Handle fluids that remain in the same phase during heat transfer. They are widely used in applications such as liquid-to-liquid, gas-to-gas, and liquid-to-gas exchanges.
Two-Phase Heat Exchangers
Designed for processes where fluids undergo a phase change, such as condensation or evaporation. Common applications include condensers, evaporators, and reboilers used in chemical plants, distillation units, and separation systems.
Enhanced Surface Tube Exchangers
Incorporate specially treated surfaces that increase thermal performance, improving heat transfer efficiency and saving space without compromising reliability.
Key Industry Applications
The oil and gas sector heavily relies on these systems for the processing and refining of crude oil. Precise temperature control is crucial for reactors and distillation columns within chemical facilities. Power stations utilize them in steam generators and cooling mechanisms. HVAC systems depend on them for climate regulation and hot water provision.
